Abstract.
Cancellous bone can be regarded as a lattice of asymptotically small rods and plates. In this paper, a thin rod of an orthotropic elastic material with a cross-section where
is considered. This thin cross-section leads to asymptotic expansions of the displacement vector, stress and strain tensors, and of the temporal change in the volumetric fraction of solid bone in the bone matrix. A rate equation describing this change in the volumetric fraction governs the remodeling process of bone deposition and reabsorption. It has linear and quadratic terms of strain tensors and thus, its own asymptotic expansion. This expansion's leading term is used in some simple numerical simulations.
