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:

A three-scale finite element investigation into the effects of tissue mineralisation and lamellar organisation in human cortical and trabecular bone.
TL;DR: A three-scale finite element homogenisation scheme is presented which enables the prediction of homogenised effective properties of tissue level bone from its fundamental nanoscale constituents of hydroxyapatite mineral crystals and organic collagen proteins and this approach could provide a preclinical tool to predict bone mechanics following prosthetic implantation or bone fracture during disease.

Kinetic Effects on Hydroxyapatite Whiskers Synthesized by the Chelate Decomposition Method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the kinetic effects on the morphology of hydroxyapatite (HA) whiskers synthesized using the chelate decomposition method, and found that the length and aspect ratio of HA whiskers increased with increasing reaction temperature.

Post-yield and failure properties of cortical bone.
Uwe Wolfram,Jakob Schwiedrzik +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of the state-of-the-art of the post-yield and failure properties of cortical bone at the extracellular matrix and the tissue level is provided.

TL;DR: This study highlights how exercise experiments in adult zebrafish foster in-depth insight into aging-related bone diseases and can thus catalyze the search for appropriate prevention and new treatment options.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moisture based three-dimensional printing of calcium phosphate structures for scaffold engineering.
TL;DR: Moisture application enabled 3DP of a 44 μm thick layer and improved the accuracy even for a powder initially optimized for 88 μm, and recycling of the humidified powder was not only possible but, in terms of reactivity, even beneficial.

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.

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.
