A Bone Remodelling Model Based on Generalised Thermodynamic Potentials and Optimisation Applied to a Trabecula with Cyclic Loading

Background: Bone diseases caused by an imbalance of bone turnover represent a major public health concern worldwide. Studies involving bone remodelling mechanisms can assist in the treatment of osteoporosis, osteopenia and in cases of fractures. In recent decades several authors have developed bone...
