Title: Constitutive modeling of the mechanical behavior of trabecular bone: continuum mechanical approaches

Description: Typical uniaxial stress-strain curves for different types of bones are shown in Figure 6.1 for the compressive regime. For all the curves, an initial linear elastic behavior can be observed. The common approach is to describe this elastic part on the basis of Hooke's law, cf. Sections 6.3 .1-6.3.4. This elastic range is followed by a strong nonlinear behavior of almost constant stress (so-called stress plateau). At higher strains, some curves show a strong increase in the stress where densification begins.
