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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative and qualitative bone imaging: A review of synchrotron radiation microtomography analysis in bone research.
Yoshihiro Obata,Hrishikesh Bale,Harold Barnard,Dula Parkinson,Tamara Alliston,Claire Acevedo +5 more
TL;DR: How SRμCT has been applied to bone research is reviewed to elucidate the mechanisms by which bone aging, disease, and other factors affect bone fragility and resistance to fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of material and structural factors on fracture behaviour of mineralised collagen microfibril using finite element simulation.
TL;DR: The results show that the number of cross-links and the density of mineral as well as Young's modulus of mineral have an important influence on the strength of mineralised collagen microfibrils which in turn clarify the bone fracture on a macroscale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiscale homogenization and localization of materials with hierarchical porous microstructures
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of porosity redistribution at different microstructural scales on the homogenized moduli and local stress fields of periodic materials with hierarchical porosities was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of pore size and porosity on cytocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation of porous titanium
TL;DR: Porous Ti with a porosity of 53.3 ± 1.7 μm fabricated by powder metallurgy process showed the expected mechanical property and improved osseointegration as implants in dental treatment.

Mechanical property enhancement in laminates through control of morphology and crystal orientation
Angelika Zeilinger,Rostislav Daniel,Mario Stefenelli,Bernhard Sartory,L. Chitu,Manfred Burghammer,Thomas Schöberl,O. Kolednik,Jozef Keckes,Christian Mitterer +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate and provide a strategy for laminate thin films, which reveals that the control of local crystal anisotropy across laminates together with the optimized layered arrangement are essential for their mechanical behavior.

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.
