Description
Summary:The present paper provides a simplified model for compact bone behavior by accounting for bone fluid flow coupled to the elasticity of the porous structure. The lumped model considers the bone material as a layered poroelastic structure and predicts normal pressure versus displacement, i.e, a stress–strain curve. There is a parametric dependency on porosity and permeability but, in addition, on pressure history. Specifically, the pressure impulse (the integral of pressure versus time) plays a key role. This factor is alluded to in several past studies, but not highlighted in a simplified fashion. Based on a global flow balance, bone displacement depends on the fluid flow in a channel according to the classical Darcy model of 1856, and on the rate of change of fluid within the porous solid according to the 1941 classical model of Biot. The present results agree with those of Perrin et al. which, in turn, agree with results of a detailed numerical simulation.
