[EN] In this Master Thesis the compressive mechanical behavior of an osteon is modeled by the finite element method. The osteon is the basic estructural unit of the cortical bone tissue. In the model, the microstructure ...

[EN] In this work, a procedure is proposed to estimate the critical energy release rate Gc of the so-called cement line in cortical bone tissue. Due to the difficulty of direct experimental estimations, relevant elastic ...
In this work, an estimation of the reinforcement factor n of the Halpin Tsai equations used to calculate the transverse stiffness E2 is provided. An improved estimation of the value xi=2 originally proposed by Halpin and ...

Mineralized collagen fibrils have been usually analyzed like a two phase composite material where crystals are considered as platelets that constitute the reinforcement phase. Different models have been used to describe ...
In this work, a three-dimensional finite element model of the staggered distribution of the mineral within the mineralized collagen fibril has been developed to characterize the lamellar bone elastic behavior at the sub-micro ...
In this work, we present two strategies for the numerical modelling of microcracks and damage within an osteon. A numerical model of a single osteon under compressive diametral load is developed, including lamellae organized ...

[EN] Cortical bone tissue is the responsible of giving support and structure to vertebrates. For that reason, understanding and analyzing its behavior is needed from each different hierarchical level that composes it. The ...
