Variation of the effective contact stiffness \(K_{c}\) obtained with the finite element model, the Kachanov’s model, the Lekesiz’s model with crack interaction (I) and the Lekesiz’s model without crack interaction (NI) as a function of the roughness wavelength λ. The roughness amplitude ∆, the BIC and the bone Young’s modulus Eb are equal to their reference values 5 µm, 50% and 2 GPa, respectively
