An efficient method of modeling material properties using a thermal diffusion analogy: an example based on craniofacial bone.

The ability to incorporate detailed geometry into finite element models has allowed researchers to investigate the influence of morphology on performance aspects of skeletal components. This advance has also allowed researchers to explore the effect of different material models, ranging from simple...
