Abstract
The bone is a hierarchically structured material with mechanical properties depending on its architecture at all scales. In this paper, a trabecular bone multiscale model based on finite element analysis was developed to link sub-nanoscopic scale (Microfibril) and nanoscopic (Fibril) to predict the orthotropic properties of bone at different structural level. To identify the orthotropic properties, we used an inverse identification algorithm. The approach shows a good efficiency in computing.
