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
Architectured materials in engineering and biology: fabrication, structure, mechanics and performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on dense architectured materials made of building blocks of well-defined size and shape, arranged in two or three dimensions, which can slide, rotate, separate or interlock collectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dopamine Modified Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Coating for Antimicrobial and Osteogenesis
TL;DR: The results reveal that hybrid coatings can endow Ti implants with good antibacterial capability as well as cell viability and osteogenic activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of viscoelasticity and time-dependent plasticity on nanoindentation measurements of human cortical bone
Zaifeng Fan,J. Y. Rho,J. Y. Rho +2 more
TL;DR: After minimizing the contribution of time-dependent plasticity to unloading data, it was surprisingly found that the elastic modulus was proportional to indentation strain rate raised to the 0.06 power, which is similar to conventional test results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a bio-inspired leg design for high-speed running
TL;DR: A new design paradigm for a robotic leg inspired by musculoskeletal structures is introduced, and the central hypothesis is that employing a tendon-bone co-location architecture not only provides compliance in the leg, but can also reduce bone stresses caused by bending on structures.

Where should implants be anchored in the humeral head
Pierre Hepp,Helmut Lill,Hermann J. Bail,J. Korner,Manuel Niederhagen,Norbert Haas,Christoph Josten,Georg N. Duda +7 more
TL;DR: Knowing of distribution, microstructure, and quality of bone in the humeral head allows the remaining bone stock to be used effectively, even in elderly patients, with a minimally invasive approach and maximum mechanical stability.

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.
