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:

Aging and loading rate effects on the mechanical behavior of equine bone
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed quasi-static and dynamic tests on equine femoral bone taken post-mortem from donors 6 months to 28 years of age to determine the fracture toughness and compressive mechanical behavior as a function of age at varying loading rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineered bone scaffolds with Dielectrophoresis-based patterning using 3D printing
TL;DR: A new type of 3D–printed scaffold utilizing dielectrophoresis (DEP) for active cell seeding and patterning that adopted a concentric-ring design that is similar to native bone tissues is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano and Macro Structure of Cortical Bone: Numerical Investigations
Mihaela Racila,J.M. Crolet +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-scale approach is proposed, where cortical bone is structured in a hierarchy of five levels: osteon, lamella, fiber and fibril.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of surface mineralization using collagen fibrils.
Weidong Tong,Steven J. Eppell +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the effect of reconstituted collagen fibrils on the deposition pattern of a homogeneous inorganic mineral (sodium chloride) and shows that collagenfibril diameter and the stoichiometry of the inorganic and organic phases effect the surface distribution of minerals.

Biomimetic Hard Materials
TL;DR: The structure of nacre is organized over several length scales, but the microscopic brick-and-mortar arrangement of the mineral tablets is prominent as mentioned in this paper, which provides a universal approach to arranging hard building blocks in nature and is also found in bone and teeth.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
