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
Principal stiffness orientation and degree of anisotropy of human osteons based on nanoindentation in three distinct planes.
TL;DR: These findings oppose two well established views of compact bone microstructure: first, the generally clear axial stiffness orientation contradicts a regular ‘tw plywood’ collagen fibril orientation pattern in lamellar bone that would lead to a more isotropic behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of aging to the fatigue crack growth resistance of human dentin
TL;DR: Regardless of age, coronal dentin exhibits the lowest resistance to fatigue crack growth perpendicular to the tubules, and while there are changes in the cyclic crack growth rate and mechanisms of cyclic extension with aging, this tissue maintains its anisotropy.

TL;DR: Results indicated that loading improved bone architecture in a dose-dependent manner and improved mechanical outcomes at 2050 με, which was largely beneficial in terms of cortical/cancellous structure and cortical mechanical function.

TL;DR: PHBV/κ-CG fibers resulted in more pronounced bioactive and osteogenic properties, including fast apatite-forming ability and deposition of nanosized apatites crystals.

TL;DR: The relative effect of surface treatment in solid and porous printed samples and the inherent decrease in fatigue properties of 3D printed porous samples designed for osseointegration are highlighted.

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.

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.
