Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2017. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 59-60). Bone remodeling is the process by which the internal morphology of bones in a healthy person or animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed. This process makes bone stronger and performs better under daily loadings. It also gives a special topology to the trabecular bone. This thesis proposes a new computational structural design approach inspired by the trabecular bone topology and remodeling process and it can be applied to the 2D, 3D and building-scale structures. It reveals the importance of the connectivity in the structures and provides a innovative bio-inspired method for the future structural topology design. by Jingwen Wang. M.
