Compressive strain measurements in porous materials using micro-FE and digital volume correlation

A local Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) based measurement of displacements and strains of synthetic bone samples under an ex-situ compression using the time-lapsed imaging procedure was performed in the present study. Micro Finite Element (µFE) model was used to simulate the compression of synthetic bone samples with experimental-based ( ExBC), and DVC interpolated displacement boundary conditions ( IPBC). The obtained µFE nodal displacement...
