Computational modeling of bone and bone remodeling 245
forms of modeling and remodeling. Computational simulations of bone
remodeling and the adaptation of trabecular bone to mechanical and bio-
logical factors are described in this chapter. A brief discussion of chal-
lenges, applications, and future developments are presented at the end of
the chapter.
8.2 Computational modeling examples of bone
mechanical properties and bone remodeling
In this section, four computational examples of bone mechanical proper-
ties and bone remodeling are introduced, i.e. subject-speci c, image-based
nonlinear nite element modeling of proximal femur, computational model-
ing of trabecular bone yield behaviors at the tissue level, dynamic mechani-
