Traditionally, bioactive glasses have been used to fill and restore bone defects. More
recently, this category of biomaterials has become an emerging research field for bone …

This study reviews several problems which are specific of composites with periodic
microstructure composed of linear or nonlinear constituents. The theoretical background of …

The use of micromechanics in conjunction with homogenization theory allows for the
prediction of the effective mechanical properties of materials based on microstructural …

While ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have shown great promise to
create functional scaffolds with tailored biomechanical properties, the true potential of these …

The local and overall responses of nonlinear composites are classically investigated by the
Finite Element Method. We propose an alternate method based on Fourier series which …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

An explicit unified form of boundary conditions for a periodic representative volume element
(RVE) is presented which satisfies the periodicity conditions, and is suitable for any …

Pseudoelasticity and the shape memory effect (SME) due to martensitic transformation and
reorientation of polycrystalline shape memory alloy (SMA) materials are modeled using a …

Composite material elastic behavior has been studied using many approaches, all of which
are based on the concept of a Representative Volume Element (RVE). Most methods …

Various multiscale methods are reviewed in the context of modelling mechanical and
thermomechanical responses of composites. They are developed both at the material level …
