Needle-based micromechanics prediction for normalized homogenized
Young’s modulus , as function of porosity , for a wide range of Young’s moduli
and Poisson’s ratios of crystal solid phase, and approximated by a
power function and a fourth-order polynomial function. Experimental
data: hydroxyapatite [24–27], collected in Ref. [12]; gypsum [29–33], collected in Ref.
[13]; piezoelectric
ceramics [34]; alumina,
zirconia [35,43]; silicon carbide [36,43]; and silicon nitride [37,43].
