Computational Study of Wolff's Law Utilizing Design Space Topology Optimization: A New Method for Hip Prosthesis Design

The law of bone remodeling, commonly referred to as Wolff's Law, asserts that the internal trabecular bone adapts to external loadings, reorienting with the principal stress trajectories to maximize mechanical efficiency, thereby creating a naturally optimum structure. The primary objective of...
