Event Description
Bone is a multi-functional biological material, optimized by nature to perform its many functions. This presentation addresses several inter-related topics on bone. Computational models can provide insights on the mechanical properties of bone as a structural material and serve as predictive tools to assess bone health. Bone is also a biological material which adapts to loads. Finally, bone can serve as an inspiration from nature for designs of new materials for medical and engineering applications.
