Mechanical properties and the hierarchical structure of bone
TLDR
Further investigations of mechanical properties at the "materials level", in addition to the studies at the 'structural level' are needed to fill the gap in present knowledge and to achieve a complete understanding of the mechanical properties of bone.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical design of the highly porous cuttlebone: A bioceramic hard buoyancy tank for cuttlefish.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the vertical walls in the chambered cuttlebone microstructure have evolved an optimal waviness gradient, which leads to compression-dominant deformation and asymmetric wall fracture, accomplishing both high stiffness and high energy absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and biocompatibility evaluation of cellulose/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite scaffold in 1-n-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride
TL;DR: In this article, a biodegradable scaffold with a cellulose/nano-hydroxyapatite base for bone tissue engineering was synthesized and characterized using precipitation method.
Journal ArticleDOI
The TEM characterization of the lamellar structure of osteoporotic human trabecular bone.
Matthew A Rubin,Iwona Jasiuk +1 more
TL;DR: This paper summarizes partial results of a larger study, which addressed the characterization of the hierarchical structure of normal versus osteoporotic human trabecular bone at several structural scales.

Microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and cytocompatibility of WE43 Mg alloy scaffolds fabricated by laser powder bed fusion for biomedical applications.
Muzi Li,Felix Benn,Thomas Derra,Nadja Kröger,Max Zinser,Ralf Smeets,Jon M. Molina-Aldareguia,Alexander Kopp,Javier LLorca,Javier LLorca +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, an open-porous scaffolds of WE43 Mg alloy with a body-center cubic cell pattern were manufactured by laser powder bed fusion with different strut diameters.

Effect of SR-microCT radiation on the mechanical integrity of trabecular bone using in situ mechanical testing and digital volume correlation.
Marta Peña Fernández,Silvia Cipiccia,Enrico Dall'Ara,Andrew J. Bodey,Rachna Parwani,Martino Pani,Gordon Blunn,Asa H. Barber,Gianluca Tozzi +8 more
TL;DR: DVC results suggested some local deterioration of tissue that might have resulted from mechanical strain concentration further enhanced by some level of local irradiation even for low accumulated dose, although image quality and consequently, DVC performance were reduced.

The compressive behavior of bone as a two-phase porous structure.
Dennis R. Carter,Wilson C. Hayes +1 more
TL;DR: These power relationships, which were shown to hold for all bone in the skeleton, allow meaningful predictions of bone tissue strength and stiffness based on in vivo density measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Young's modulus of trabecular and cortical bone material: ultrasonic and microtensile measurements.
TL;DR: The results suggest that when considered mechanically, cortical and trabecular bone are not the same material.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanical behaviour of cancellous bone
TL;DR: The results of this previous study are applied to cancellous bone in an attempt to further understand its mechanical behaviour and the results agree reasonably well with experimental data available in the literature.

Elastic properties of human cortical and trabecular lamellar bone measured by nanoindentation
TL;DR: An experimental investigation was undertaken to measure the intrinsic elastic properties of several of the microstructural components of human vertebral trabecular bone and tibial cortical bone by the nanoindentation method, and differences in the measured moduli are statistically significant.
