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:

Substituted hydroxyapatites for bone repair
TL;DR: Some of the key effect of substitutions including magnesium, zinc, strontium, silicon and carbonate on physical and biological characteristics are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
TL;DR: The mechanism by which nanoscaled materials promote new bone formation was explained and the current research status of main types of nanostructured scaffolds for bone tissue engineering was reviewed and discussed.

Margarida Figueiredo,A. Fernando,Gabriela V. Martins,João Freitas,Fernando Judas,Helena Figueiredo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study of cortical bone samples of different origins (human and animal) subjected to different calcination temperatures (600, 900 and 1200 8C) with regard to their chemical and structural properties was performed.

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.
