Abstract

It is a heat point to studying the relation between load and growth from macroscopic angle. The apparent density distribution and the stimulus of a cantilever beam were simulated in a computer model by combining the self-optimizing theory of bone with the finite element method. A configuration similar to a frame work in engineering was achieved. The effect of initial uniform density on the end configuration and mass were vitally discussed with a fixed reference value. The absorption of auxiliary bone was cited again to verify the effect of initial uniform density.
