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:

Long-term in vivo response to citric acid-based nanocomposites for orthopaedic tissue engineering.
TL;DR: This study provides the long-term bone and cartilage response of novel, citric acid-based nanocomposites and their equivalence to FDA-approved biomaterials and provides new insights and further discussion of these nanocomPOSites for orthopaedic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of Stiffness and Strength of Bone at Nanoscale.
TL;DR: Two distinct geometrical models of bone at the nanoscale (collagen fibril and mineral platelets) are analyzed computationally and it is found that model II is found to have a higher stiffness than model I for all cases.

On the relationship between the dynamic behavior and nanoscale staggered structure of the bone
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element analysis was performed on the dynamic response of nanoscale bone structures under dynamic loading and it was found that for a fixed mineral volume fraction and unit cell area, there exists a staggered structure at some specific feature size and layout which exhibits the fastest attenuation of stress waves.

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.

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.
