Micro-mechanical model of vertebral trabecular bone with application in analysis of screw pull-out strength

A nonlinear micro-mechanical model of the human vertebral trabecular bone using a three-dimensional open-celled regular hexagonal structure was developed. Anisotropy of the bone material properties was accounted for. Nonlinearity of the structure was introduced by considering the elasto-plastic beha...
