Abstract
The bone remodeling of a three-dimensional model of the proximal
femur is considered. The bone adaptation is numerically described
as an evolution in time formulated such that the structural change
goes in an optimal direction within each time step for the optimal
boundary conditions. In the bone remodeling scheme is included the
memory of past loadings to account for the delay in the bone
response to the load changes. In order to get a realistic bone
adaptation process, the bone structure at the onset of the
remodeling needs to be realistic too. A start design is obtained
by structural optimization for maximum stiffness with multiple
loading conditions
