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:

Examining the influence of PTH(1-34) on tissue strength and composition.
TL;DR: Overall, the present study demonstrates that changes in tissue composition localized at the lacuna wall contribute to the strength and fatigue resistance of cortical bone gained in response to intermittent PTH(1-34) treatment.

A method for the taphonomic assessment of bone tools using 3D surface texture analysis of bone microtopography
Naomi L. Martisius,Naomi L. Martisius,Shannon P. McPherron,Ellen Schulz-Kornas,Ellen Schulz-Kornas,Marie Soressi,Teresa E. Steele,Teresa E. Steele +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface textures of ancient and modern unworked ribs were compared using a multilevel multivariate Bayesian model to quantify the taphonomic effect on bone surfaces and how this effect can then be controlled for and incorporated into an analysis for evaluating the modified surfaces of purported bone tools.

Microelasticity of Bone
TL;DR: Despite the complex hierarchical organization and the astonishing variety of bones, it was recently possible to identify a few elementary mechanical components at the micro and nanolevel of the material: hydroxyapatite crystals, collagen molecules, and water as discussed by the authors.

Improvement of thermal stability and mechanical properties of medical polyester composites by plasma surface modification of the bioactive glass particles
TL;DR: In this paper, a surface modification of bioactive glass particles by plasma polymerization of acrlylic acid is proposed as a strategy for the improvement of thermal stability of bioglass filled composite systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping the imprint of bone remodeling by atomic force microscopy.
TL;DR: Detailed atomic force microscope images from the edge, the front end, and the bottom of a resorption pit in a human trabecular bone sample that showed signs of incomplete remodeling are presented to initiate a more detailed understanding of the influence of the remodeling process on the structure of bone, as well as a better understand of the surface on which new bone tissue can be anchored.

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.
