In this paper we seek to summarize the current knowledge about numerical instabilities such
as checkerboards, mesh-dependence and local minima occurring in applications of the …

In this review paper, some relevant models, algorithms, and approaches conceived to
describe the bone tissue mechanics and the remodeling process are showcased …

" The art of structure is where to put the holes" Robert Le Ricolais, 1894-1977 This is a
completely revised, updated and expanded version of the book titled" Optimization of …

This paper presents a method for optimal design of compliant mechanism topologies. The
method is based on continuum-type topology optimization techniques and finds the optimal …

The first edition of Skeletal Tissue Mechanics, published in 1998, grew out of Bruce Martin's
lecture notes for a course by the same name, which was part of the biomedical engineering …

It is of great importance for the development of new products to find the best possible
topology or layout for given design objectives and constraints at a very early stage of the …

Composites with extremal or unusual thermal expansion coefficients are designed using a
three-phase topology optimization method. The composites are made of two different …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

This review deals with biomechanical aspects of growth (mass change), remodeling
(property change), and morphogenesis (shape change) in living systems. The emphasis is …

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a technique that reconstructs stress, strain, and deformation
in a digital structure. Although commonplace in engineering and orthopedic science for …
