Multiscale modeling of calcified hydrogel networks

Abstract: The model proposed simulates the effective material behavior of calcified hydrogels using the multiscale finite element method (FEM). To this end, representative volume elements (RVEs) are generated to depict the biphasic material microstructure consisting of the organic hydrogel and inorganic calcium phosphate. The choice of the hydrogel matrix influences the type of agglomeration of the inorganic phase and thus dictates the geometry of the RVE. Most commonly, the inorganic phase appears in the form of spherical inclusions or honeycomb grids where the characteristic size of a typical unit may vary. The approach proposed treats the calcified regions as Neo‐Hookean material and assumes the Ogden model for the hydrogel. The contribution closes with the numerical results on the effective material behavior and their validation with respect to experimental findings.
