Maple Case Study – Applied mathematician uses Maple to simulate the biomechanics of human bone microstructure
Dr. Maria-Grazia Ascenzi of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), performs research in her Bone Micro-Mechanics laboratory to better understand bone micro-structures. Find out how Maple‘s powerful computational abilities help her model the percentages and orientations of the various elementary components and the details of fundamental micro-level units of compact bone during experimental biomechanics on bone micro-specimens.
