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
Orientation and size-dependent mechanical modulation within individual secondary osteons in cortical bone tissue
TL;DR: The hierarchical arrangement of lamellar bone is found to be a major determinant for modulation of mechanical properties and anisotropic mechanical behaviour of the tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of micro fracture in human Haversian cortical bone under transverse tension using extended physical imaging
Elisa Budyn,Thierry Hoc +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a procedure to investigate local stress intensity factors at the scale of the osteons in human Haversian cortical bone by combining a specific experimental setting for a three-point bending millimetric specimen and a numerical method using the X-FEM.

Morphology and Phase Evolution of Hierarchical Architectures of Cadmium Sulfide
Xiaobo He,Lian Gao +1 more
TL;DR: A series of hierarchical architectures of cadmium sulfide (CdS) were prepared by the hydrothermal route and the final products were characterized and investigated by X-ray diffraction, field emission transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectrometry as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of a three-dimensional nanostructured biomaterial for tissue engineering of bone.
TL;DR: It is observed that the mESC can be induced to produce Ca salts (mineralization) in a 3D-microenvironment and moreover, this activity can be enhanced by the presence of HA particles into the nanofiber scaffold.

Jae-Young Jung,Steven E. Naleway,Nicholas A. Yaraghi,Steven Herrera,Vincent R. Sherman,Eric A. Bushong,Mark H. Ellisman,David Kisailus,Joanna McKittrick +8 more
TL;DR: The combined microstructural and mechanical property analysis indicate possible energy absorption routes for the hyoid apparatus and are applicable to the design of engineered structures.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
