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
A study of fracture mechanisms in biological nano-composites via the virtual internal bond model
Baohua Ji,Huajian Gao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Virtual-Internal-Bond (VIB) model was used to model deformation and failure in the nanostructured biocomposite, which incorporated an atomic cohesive force law into the constitutive model of materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability and anisotropy of mechanical behavior of cortical bone in tension and compression.
TL;DR: The effective Young's modulus predicted using the modified Voigt-Reuss-Hill averaging scheme accurately reproduced the experimental results, corroborating additionally a strong effect of random and heterogeneous microstructure on variation of mechanical properties in cortical bone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additive Manufacturing as a Method to Design and Optimize Bioinspired Structures.
TL;DR: Recent advances in the use of AM for improving the understanding of the structure-property relationship in biological materials and for the production of bioinspired materials are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of nano- hydroxyapatite powder using wet chemical precipitation reaction
TL;DR: In this article, high purity of nano-hydroxyapatite powders could be obtained at low temperatures, and the crystallinity, crystallite size and Ca/P ratio of the resulting nanoparticles were found to be dependent on the calcination temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication and Properties of Polycaprolactone Composites Containing Calcium Phosphate-Based Ceramics and Bioactive Glasses in Bone Tissue Engineering: A Review
TL;DR: This review presents a comprehensive study on recent advances in the fabrication and properties of PCL-based composite scaffolds containing calcium phosphate-based ceramics and bioglasses in terms of porosity, degradation rate, mechanical properties, in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility and bioactivity for bone regeneration applications.

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.
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.
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.
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.
