This study aims to develop a multiscale model to describe the overall mechanical behavior of tendon-to-bone insertion, predicting the anisotropic stiffness tensor of the interphase by modeling its elastic response at different scales. The model has implications for designing bioinspired bi-materials with functionally graded properties like the tendon-to-bone insertion.
The interphase joining tendon to bone plays the crucial role of integrating soft to hard tissues, by effectively transferring stresses across two tissues displaying a mismatch in mechanical properties of nearly two orders of magnitude. The outstanding mechanical properties of this interphase are attributed to its complex hierarchical structure, especially by means of competing gradients in mineral content and collagen fibers organization at different length scales. The goal of this study is to develop a multiscale model to describe how the tendon-to-bone insertion derives its overall mechanical behavior. To this end, the effective anisotropic stiffness tensor of the interphase is predicted by modeling its elastic response at different scales, spanning from the nanostructural to the mesostructural levels, using continuum micromechanics methods. The results obtained at a lower scale serve as inputs for the modeling at a higher scale. The obtained predictions are in good agreement with stochastic finite element simulations and experimental trends reported in literature. Such model has implication for the design of bioinspired bi-materials that display the functionally graded properties of the tendon-to-bone insertion.
