[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 ...
Purpose: The aim was to study by computer simulations the insulating role of the reactive
zone surrounding a cortical osteoid osteoma (OO) in terms of electrical and thermal
performance during radiofrequency ablation ...

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 ...
The success of oral surgery is subject to accurate advanced planning. In order to properly plan for dental surgery or a suitable implant placement, it is necessary an accurate segmentation of the jaw tissues: the teeth, ...

[EN] In this Máster Thesis an osteon extracted from an electronic microscope image of a sheep tibia cortical bone is modelled using the finite element method. The model is composed by all the compact bone parts, such as ...
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 ...
Cutting operations in bone are involved in surgical treatments in orthopaedics and traumatology. The
importance of guaranteeing the absence of damage in the living workpiece is equivalent in this case to
ensuring surface ...
