Conical differentiability for bone remodeling contact rod models
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 July 2005
Abstract
We prove the conical differentiability of the solution to a bone remodeling contact rod model, for given data (applied loads and rigid obstacle), with respect to small perturbations of the cross section of the rod. The proof is based on the special structure of the model, composed of a variational inequality coupled with an ordinary differential equation with respect to time. This structure enables the verification of the two following fundamental results: the polyhedricity of a modified displacement constraint set defined by the obstacle and the differentiability of the two forms associated to the variational inequality.
