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
Hydroxyapatite-reinforced polymer biocomposites for synthetic bone substitutes
TL;DR: The effects of the polymer composition and molecular orientation; the HA/polymer interface; and the HA-reinforcement content, morphology, preferred orientation, and size are reviewed with respect to mechanical properties, drawing frequent comparisons between various HA- reinforced polymer composites and bone tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
State of the art composites comprising electrospun fibres coupled with hydrogels: a review.
TL;DR: The combination of these two commonly used scaffold architectures to create synergistically superior structures is showing potential with regards to therapeutic use within the tissue engineering community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid crystalline assemblies of collagen in bone and in vitro systems.
TL;DR: Transmission electron microscopy analysis of decalcified human compact bone in section reveals characteristic patterns forming regular series of nested arcs, which are similar to crimp morphologies described in tendons and continuously twisting fibrils, and give rise to arced patterns similar to supra-molecular architectures identified in compact bone.
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
TL;DR: The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Žilina, Slovak National University as mentioned in this paper, deals with standard disciplines (such as measurement, automation, industrial engineering, technological engineering, mechanic and strength, design and machine elements) and with specific engineering disciplines such as machinery maintenance engineering; railway vehicles; engines and lifting equipment; heat and hydraulic machinery.

Xuerong Zhou,Zhuotong Zeng,Guangming Zeng,Cui Lai,Rong Xiao,Shiyu Liu,Danlian Huang,Lei Qin,Xigui Liu,Bisheng Li,Huan Yi,Yukui Fu,Ling Li,Zhihong Wang +13 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors applied bone char (BBC) into persulfate (PS) activation system and achieved efficient 2, 4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation.

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.
