Bone damage

Bone is a living material that can adapt to changing environmental conditions by changing its structure. In the interaction with implants, both mechanical and thermal stimuli on the bone play a role, which must be taken into account in the modeling. In addition to a three-dimensional distribution of stresses and strains in the bone, statements can also be made both about strain-induced bone remodelling (change in stiffness properties) and about heat input and temperature distribution.
