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:

Bone: A Composite Natural Material
TL;DR: The emphasis of this chapter will be on the structure and mechanical properties of bone and how some diseases affect the material's characteristics, including the two different types of bone, cortical and trabecular.

Fabrication of Bio-Nanocomposite Nanofibers Mimicking the Mineralized Hard Tissues via Electrospinning Process
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered living nanocomposites, which are nature-made materials that common exhibit highly complex and strongly hierarchical structures on different length scales, and showed that in the lowest level of such mineralized hard tissue, the minerals are deposited in parallel fashion into a structured organic matrix, yielding a highly anisotropic three-dimensional structure.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that the proposed electrochemical anodization process for Ti2448 alloys with a low uniaxial tensile elastic modulus has the potential for biomedical implant applications.

Ultratough cellular films from graphene oxide hydrogel: A way to exploit rigidity and flexibility of two-dimensional honeycomb carbon
TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative approach to construct anisotropic graphene-based cellular films with an oriented and interlinked microstructure was proposed, which can provide both high strength (2.4± 0.2
Journal ArticleDOI
Interplay of various fracture mechanisms in bio-inspired staggered structure
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical framework is presented to simulate the staggered structure that seamlessly accounts the platelet and matrix fractures along with debonding of the interfaces, and a simplified shear-lag model with imperfectly bonded platelet-matrix interfaces has also been developed for the unit cell of staggered structure.

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.
