ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a geometric/material computer model of hierarchical bone based upon the viscoelastic properties of longitudinal and alternate osteons. The viscoelastic properties of osteons include, for example, mechanical properties and osteon content of various components such as collagen, mucopolysacharides, hydroxyapatite, osteocytes and osteoblasts. The invention also provides a method for preparing such a model.
