Article Synopsis
  • Micro-Finite Element analysis (μFEA) is commonly used in biomechanical research to predict bone properties but is resource-intensive and time-consuming.
  • A new alternative method called Firm and Floppy Boundary LEM (FFB-LEM) is introduced, using LAMMPS software to estimate trabecular bone mechanical properties quickly and accurately.
  • FFB-LEM calculations take about 15 minutes compared to 30-50 minutes for traditional FEA methods, with no significant differences in results between the two approaches for both bovine and human bone samples.

Vacancy and self-interstitial atomic diffusion coefficients in concentrated solid solution alloys can have a non-monotonic concentration dependence. Here, the kinetics of monovacancies and ⟨100⟩ dumbbell interstitials in Ni-Fe alloys are assessed using lattice kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC). The non-monotonicity is associated with superbasins, which impels using accelerated kMC methods.
