Abstract

The presented study is motivated by the development of methods, algorithms, and software tools for μFE (micro finite element) simulation of human bones. The voxel representation of the bone microstructure is obtained from a high resolution computer tomography (CT) image. The considered numerical homogenization problem concerns isotropic linear elasticity models at micro and macro levels.
