abstract = "In this work, a combination of nanoindentation experiment and finite element modeling is proposed in order to obtain approximate material behavior of PLLA polymer in hydroxyapatite (HAp)/poly-L-lactide (PLLA) composite. Knowing these properties is important since the processing conditions used in hot pressing of composites with thermoplastic matrix strongly influence final mechanical properties of material in the solid state. A bi-linear material behavior is adopted for the polymer phase of the HAp/PLLA composite. Material behavior model, stress-strain curve, is determined by modulus of elasticity, yield stress and work-hardening rate. This combined method is proposed to determine material behavior before (modulus of elasticity) and after yield point (work hardening rate) of polymer phase after the hot-pressing of the composite. .",
