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.

Biomimetic hydroxyapatite-containing composite nanofibrous substrates for bone tissue engineering.

TL;DR: The present review is intended to direct the reader’s attention to the important subjects of synthetic and natural polymers with HA for bone tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advancing Frontiers in Bone Bioprinting.

TL;DR: A critical overview of the recent literature on various types of bioinks used for bone bioprinting is presented and major challenges, such as the vascularity, clinically relevant size, and mechanical properties of 3D printed structures, are discussed.

Processing and tensile properties of hydroxyapatite-whisker-reinforced polyetheretherketone

TL;DR: Texture analysis showed that viscous flow during compression molding produced a preferred orientation of whiskers along the specimen tensile axis, Consequently, the elastic modulus or ultimate tensile strength of HA-whisker-reinforced PEEK was able to be tailored to mimic human cortical bone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological materials: a materials science approach.

TL;DR: This work applies the power of advanced characterization, mechanical testing, and modeling methods to biomineralized shells, avian beaks and feathers, and fish scales, and presents a few selected bioinspired applications.

Mechanical properties of unidirectional nanocomposites with non-uniformly or randomly staggered platelet distribution

TL;DR: In this article, the stiffness, strength, failure strain and energy storage capacity of a unidirectional nanocomposite with non-uniformly or randomly staggered platelet distribution were investigated.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
