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:

Ratio between mature and immature enzymatic cross-links correlates with post-yield cortical bone behavior: An insight into greenstick fractures of the child fibula
Jean-Philippe Berteau,Jean-Philippe Berteau,Evelyne Gineyts,Evelyne Gineyts,Martine Pithioux,Cécile Baron,Georges Boivin,Georges Boivin,Philippe Lasaygues,Patrick Chabrand,Hélène Follet,Hélène Follet +11 more
TL;DR: The results provide a potential explanation of the presence of greenstick fractures in children by concluding that this ratio in the sub-nanostructure of the organic matrix in cortical bone from the fibula may go some way towards explaining the variance in post-yield behavior.

Modified two-parameter fracture model for bone
Andrea Carpinteri,Filippo Berto,Giovanni Fortese,Camilla Ronchei,Daniela Scorza,Sabrina Vantadori +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental campaign on fracture behaviour of bovine femoral cortical bones is conducted to characterise the fracture toughness, which is related to the structure and loadbearing capacity of bones.

Processing and compression testing of Ti6Al4V foams for biomedical applications
TL;DR: In this paper, open cell Ti6Al4V foams were prepared at sintering temperatures between 1,200 and 1,350°C using ammonium bicarbonate particles (315-500μm) as space holder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in osteocytes morphology vs bone type in turtle shell and their exceptional preservation from the Jurassic to the present
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the morphology of osteocytes in each of the three bone layers is conserved through ontogeny, and that these morphological variations are phylogenetically independent, as well as independent of the bone origin (intramembranous or endochondral).
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement of the fracture toughness of hydroxyapatite (HAp) by incorporation of carboxyl functionalized single walled carbon nanotubes (CfSWCNTs) and nylon.
TL;DR: The potential of improving the fracture toughness of synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) by incorporating carboxyl functionalized single walled carbon nanotubes (CfSWCNTs) and polymerized ε-caprolactam (nylon) was studied.

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.
