Schematic representation of numerically investigated cylindrical (A) and conical (B) connector geometries. For the cylindrical geometry, the influence of different connector diameters (D1 = 1 mm, D2 = 10 mm) as well as lengths (L1 = 1 mm, L2 = 2 mm, L3 = 3 mm, L4 = 4 mm, L5 = 5 mm, L6 = 10 mm) was investigated. For the conical connector geometry, the influence of different connector lengths (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6) with a constant connector diameter (D2) was investigated. The Hoover coefficient was calculated at 24 cross-sectional planes perpendicularly aligned to the longitudinal axis of the scaffold.
