In-depth gaze at the astonishing mechanical behavior of bone: A review for designing bio-inspired heirarchical metamaterials
In this review paper, some relevant models, algorithms, and approaches conceived to describe the bone tissue mechanics
and the remodeling process are showcased. Specifically, we briefly describe the hierarchical structure of the bone at
different levels and underline the geometrical substructure characterizing the bone itself. The mechanical models adopted
to describe the bone tissue at different levels of observation are introduced in their essential aspects. Furthermore, the
