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.

Synchrotron diffraction study of deformation mechanisms in mineralized tendon.

TL;DR: In situ tensile testing with synchrotron x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy measurements lead to the conclusion that the inhomogeneous mineralization in mineralized tendon is at the origin of the high fracture strain.

Synthesis of bioactive class II poly(γ-glutamic acid)/silica hybrids for bone regeneration

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of a new nanocomposite material is described that has the potential of being a tough off-the-shelf artificial bone graft that can regenerate a bone defect and have enough flexibility to press-fit into place.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aligned bioactive multi-component nanofibrous nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

TL;DR: This study successfully fabricated aligned nanofibrous multi-component scaffolds for bone tissue engineering using electrospinning and found that crosslinking with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride resulted in improved mechanical properties and improved degradation stability, under physiological conditions.

Influence of Porosity and Pore-Size Distribution in Ti6Al4 V Foam on Physicomechanical Properties, Osteogenesis, and Quantitative Validation of Bone Ingrowth by Micro-Computed Tomography.

TL;DR: In this study, coagulant-assisted foaming was utilized for the fabrication of porous Ti6Al4 V using egg-white foam, and Quantitative assessment of bone ingrowth by micro-computed tomography revealed that there was an approximately 52% higher bone formation and more than 90%Higher bone penetration at the center of femoral defects in rabbit when implanted with Ti6 al4 V foam.

The estimated elastic constants for a single bone osteonal lamella

TL;DR: The results provide a database for estimating the anisotropic poroelastic constants of an osteon and also provide adatabase for building mathematical or computational models in bone micromechanics, such as bone damage mechanics and bone poroElasticity.

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.

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.

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.
