From: An adaptation model for trabecular bone at different mechanical levels
The homeostatic architecture of the bone model, the initial architectures and loading conditions of the seven simulation cases, and their simulation results. a The homeostatic structure of the bone model, which is the initial architecture of simulations 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. b The initial architecture of simulation 3: two struts were artificially disconnected (inside the two circles), while the external stress was maintained. c The initial architecture and loading condition of simulation 4. The initial structure was the homeostatic structure. The orientation of the applied stress was changed from 30° to 0°. d Result of simulation 1. e Result of simulation 2. f Result of simulation 3. g Result of simulation 4. h Result of simulation 5. i Result of simulation 6. j Result of simulation 7.
