Finite Element Modeling of Porous Microstructures With Random Holes of Different-Shapes and -Sizes to Predict Their Effective Elastic Behavior

Porous materials are promising media for designing medical instruments, drug carriers, and bioimplants because of their excellent biocompatibility, ease of design, and large variation of elastic moduli. In this study, a computational strategy using the finite element method is developed to model the...
