Effect of material and structural factors on fracture behaviour of mineralised collagen microfibril using finite element simulation

Bone is a multiscale heterogeneous material and its principal function is to support the body structure and to resist mechanical loads without fracturing. Numerical modelling of biocomposites at different length scales provides an improved understanding of the mechanical behaviour of structures such...
