Relevance of inhomogeneous–anisotropic models of human cortical bone: a tibia study using the finite element method
Cortical bone is an inhomogeneous and anisotropic tissue subjected to large loads during typical daily activities. While studies assuming isotropic material properties are frequent, anisotropy and inhomogeneity of cortical bone have been rarely taken into account. Moreover, the question, whether an...
