ABSTRACT
In the previous two chapters some fundamental concepts and basic formulations for bone remodeling processes have been presented. We now present applications of these formulations to multifield internal bone remodeling of inhomogeneous long cylindrical bone. Bone remodeling processes are the mechanisms by which bone adapts its histological structure to changes in long-term loading. As explained in Chapter 2, there are two kinds of bone remodeling: internal and surface [1]. This chapter describes multifield internal bone remodeling; then, Chapter 4 gives the theory and solution of multifield surface bone remodeling.
