Numerical simulations were carried out under four types of loads under the action of an external force of 10N: compression, bending in the plane of the rods, bending perpendicular to the plane of the rods and torsion. The lower part of the bone is the fixed support. Boundary conditions are shown in fig. 4.

Finite elements shown in Fig. 5 were used in the modeling of the "Bone – RAEF" systems.
