Trabecular bone numerical homogenization with the use of buffer zone
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2014, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper is devoted to calculation of effective orthotropic material parameters for trabecular bone tissue. The finite element method (FEM) numerical model of bone sample was created on the basis of micro-computed tomography (µCT) data. The buffer zone surrounding the tissue was created to apply the periodic boundary conditions. Numerical homogenization algorithm was implemented in FEM software and used to calculate the elasticity matrix coefficients of the considered bone sample.

Sequential stochastic identification of elastic constants using Lamb waves and particle filters
Sequential stochastic identification of elastic parameters of thin aluminum plates using Lamb waves is proposed. The identification process is formulated as a Bayesian state estimation problem in which the elastic consta...
Convergence estimates for the acoustic scattering problem approximated by NURBS
The paper contains some estimates of an approximation to the solution of the problem of acoustic waves's scattering by an elastic obstacle in two dimensions. The problem is approximated by the isogeometric adaptive metho...
Numerical analysis of tissue heating using the bioheat transfer porous model
The paper concerns the modelling of artificial hyperthermia. The 3D domain including healthy tissue and tumor region is considered. Heat transfer processes proceeding in this domain are described by the Pennes model and...
Variational Bayesian inversion for microwave breast imaging
Microwave imaging is considered as a nonlinear inverse scattering problem and tackled in a Bayesian estimation framework. The object under test (a breast affected by a tumor) is assumed to be composed of compact regions...
