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:

Bioinspired micro/nano fabrication on dental implant–bone interface
TL;DR: In this article, a combined hierarchical structure, i.e., micro-pits interlaced self-assemble TiO2 nanotubes of several tens of nanometers on dental implant's surface is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristic dimensions and the micro-mechanisms of fracture and fatigue in `nano' and `bio' materials
TL;DR: In this article, the fracture and fatigue properties of micron-scale structures for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and the fracture properties of mineralized tissue, specifically human bone, are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic strains in antler trabecular bone determined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction.
TL;DR: Uniaxial compression conducted in situ during X-ray microtomography showed that antler can undergo significant architectural rearrangement, dominated by trabeculae bending and buckling, due to its low mineral content.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multiscale mechanobiological model of bone remodelling predicts site-specific bone loss in the femur during osteoporosis and mechanical disuse
TL;DR: In this article, a multiscale mechanobiological model of bone remodelling is proposed to investigate the site-specific evolution of bone volume fraction across the midshaft of a femur.

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.

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.
