Numerical Study on the Morphology and Mechanical Role of Healthy and Osteoporotic Vertebral Trabecular Bone

This study presents a numerical methodology to clarify the morphology of complex trabecular network architecture in human lumbar vertebra by means of the new post-processing technique for calculated microscopic stress by the homogenization method. Micro-CT image-based modeling technique is used and...
