Strain Amplification Analysis of an Osteocyte under Static and Cyclic Loading: A Finite Element Study
Osteocytes, the major type of bone cells which reside in their lacunar and canalicular system within the bone matrix, function as biomechanosensors and biomechanotransducers of the bone. Although biomechanical behaviour of the osteocyte-lacunar-canalicular system has been investigated in previous st...
