... the material behavior in the vicinity of a crack, which controls the fracture process in the bone. Cohesive finite element method provides a phenomenological representation of the process zone behavior in the vicinity of a propagating crack via a traction-crack opening displacement relationship. This method...

... in modeling the microstructure dependent fracture of trabecular bone. In this research, dynamic fracture in two-dimensional (2D) micrographs of ovine (sheep) trabecular bone is modeled using the cohesive finite element method. For this purpose, the bone tissue is modeled as an orthotropic material...
