This book presents a set of experimental studies and numerical simulation of cancellous bone material, the goal being to promote the development of artificial cancellous bones. In the development context, two major factors need to be considered: the integrity of the overall structure and its permeability. The challenge is to mimic and develop synthetic cancellous bone to offer performance that is comparable to natural cancellous bone structures, especially for load-bearing applications.
