432 Computational Modelling of Biomechanics and Biotribology
biological response of the bone to mechanical stimuli into account. This
requires a clear understanding of the biochemical mechanisms involved and
falls outside the scope of this chapter. The reader is referred to the supple-
mentary material in Section 14.9 for more information on these types of
models.
The approach remains the same, irrespective of whether a mechanical,
biomechanical, biochemical or a biochemomechanical method is applied.
A nite element (FE) model is constructed which provides the stress–strain
distribution through the bone material as a result of the applied load. ...
