An anisotropic modelling of hollow porous cylinders under harmonic axial loading is proposed to simulate the in vivo behavior of structural elements of cortical bone called osteons. The peripheral surface of the medium is supposed to be impermeable, except on possible existing cracks. Numerical tests are performed by analytical and finite element methods based on the Biot poroelastic theory. The influence of microcracks on the fluid flow is numerically investigated. The findings show that the existence of peripheral cracks directly modifies the stimulation of the mechano-sensitive network of the bone. Thus, this study attempts to propose a likely mechanism by which bone can sense changes of the surrounding mechanical environment.
