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:

Mineralization on polylactide/gelatin composite nanofibers using simulated body fluid containing amino acid
TL;DR: In this paper, three amino acids (glycine, aspartic acid, or arginine) of different charge characteristics were introduced into the simulated body fluid (SBF), and their effects on nucleation and transformation of calcium phosphate depositions were systematically investigated.

Size and size distribution of apatite crystals in sauropod fossil bones
TL;DR: In this paper, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze the size and size distribution of apatite crystallites in sub-fossil mammal and fossil sauropod dinosaur bones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measures of complexity for 3D image analysis of trabecular bone
TL;DR: Based on fractal properties and spatial auto-correlation, the measures of complexity lacunarity, Moran's I and Geary's C index are defined for 3D image analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational investigation of ultrastructural behavior of bone using a cohesive finite element approach
TL;DR: The failure modes, stress–strain curves, and in situ mineral strain of ultrastructural bone predicted by the model were in good agreement with the experimental observations reported in the literature, thus suggesting that this model can provide new insights into sub-microscale mechanical behavior of bone.

Controlling dynamic mechanical properties and degradation of composites for bone regeneration by means of filler content
Davide Barbieri,Joost D. de Bruijn,Joost D. de Bruijn,Xiaoman Luo,Silvia Farè,Dirk W. Grijpma,Huipin Yuan +6 more
TL;DR: The results show the importance of filler content in controlling the properties of such composites and observed that the viscoelastic properties of the composite containing 50wt% apatite were comparable to those of dry human cortical bone.

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.
