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:

Investigating processing techniques for bovine gelatin electrospun scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration
TL;DR: Various processing techniques to determine the optimal electrospinning, cross-linking, sintering, and mineralization parameters necessary to yield a porous, mechanically enhanced scaffold for trabecular bone tissue regeneration are discussed.

Scanning SAXS–WAXS microscopy on osteoarthritis‐affected bone – an age‐related study
Cinzia Giannini,Dritan Siliqi,Massimo Ladisa,Davide Altamura,Ana Diaz,Alina Beraudi,Teresa Sibillano,L. De Caro,S. Stea,F. Baruffaldi,Oliver Bunk +10 more
TL;DR: The combined scanning SAXS and WAXS microscopy is shown to be a suitable choice for characterizing and quantifying the nanostructural properties of collagen over extended areas and suggests the existence of a correlation between age and cross-linking-induced rigidity of collagen fibers.

Reinforcement of polyetheretherketone polymer with titanium for improved mechanical properties and in vitro biocompatibility
Hyun-Do Jung,Hyun-Do Jung,Hui Sun Park,Min-Ho Kang,Yuanlong Li,Hyoun-Ee Kim,Young Hag Koh,Yuri Estrin +7 more
TL;DR: An increase in Ti content enhanced compressive strength and stiffness, while preserving ductile fracture behavior, in blends of ductile Ti metal with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotation of hard particles in a soft matrix
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a theoretical framework that can describe the rotation of hard particles in a soft matrix, which can be extended to non-rigid particles, viscoelastic matrix and imperfect bonding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of bacterial cellulose microfiber/goat bone apatite composites for bone repair
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 4-methylmorpholine-4-oxide (NMMO) as the solvent for BC and goat bone apatite (GBA) composites.

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.
