Abstract
In the research the Hertzian approach is undertaken. The constitutive relation is then formulated in the elastic domain. The values of hardness and the Young modulus obtained from the DSI tests are in good agreement with those found in literature. The stress-strain relation is formulated to implement it in the future in finite element analyses of trabecular bone. Such simulations allow to take into account the microstructural mechanical properties of the trabecular tissue as well as remodelling phenomenon. This will make it possible to analyse the stress and strain states in bone for engineering and medical purposes.
