I thank you very much everyone for your replies and I hope
you apologize me for delay of my answer.
My question was about the role of viscoelastic and viscoplastic
behaviour of bone on modelling and remodelling.
It may be useful I to report in the follwing some reference you sent me
for everyone is interested in.
Further news will be wellcome
thank you again!!!
