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.

Cohesive modeling of bone fracture at multiple scales

TL;DR: In this article, the application of cohesive modeling to the assessment of macro- and micro-scale fracture mechanisms in bone is presented, where the macroscale simulations focus on predicting the fracture risk at the whole bone level whereas the microscale simulations evaluate the influence of microstructural features on crack propagation behavior in bone.

High-quality ultralong hydroxyapatite nanowhiskers grown directly on titanium surfaces by novel low-temperature flux coating method

TL;DR: In this paper, high-quality hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystals were grown on a Ti substrate at the relatively low temperature of 300 °C using a KNO3-LiNO3 flux coating method.

Silk/agarose scaffolds with tunable properties via SDS assisted rapid gelation

TL;DR: A simple method to fabricate lyophilized silk/agarose scaffolds with tunable features (mechanical properties and pore structure) via controlling the gelation degree of silk fibroin and freeze-drying the gels with different gelation degrees is developed.

Towards Quasi Isotropic laminates with engineered fracture behaviour for industrial applications

TL;DR: In this article, the microstructure design of thin-ply CFRP laminates has been used to improve the damage tolerance of CFRP structures in industrially relevant applications.

Measurement of elastic modulus and Vickers hardness of surround bone implant using dynamic microindentation--parameters definition.

TL;DR: No statistical difference was found between bone mechanical properties of high and low profile of the surround bone to implant, demonstrating that the bone characterization homogeneously is pertinent and Dynamic microindantion method proved to be highly useful in the characterization of the individual peri-implant bone tissue.

The compressive behavior of bone as a two-phase porous structure.

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.
