Mechanics of Cellular Bone Remodeling: Coupled Thermal, Electrical, and Mechanical Field Effects

This is a unique reference that will appeal to the biomedical engineering community and individuals pursuing data relative to bone modeling, therapeutic design and the responses of bone to orthopedic therapies and prostheses. The book systematically discusses the bone remodeling process at both macro- and cellular level, providing derivations of the basic equations. It provides numerical simulations to model bone mechanics and dynamics during the remodeling process, and covers the response of bone materials to coupled thermo-magneto-electro-elastic fields
