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:

Application of Fracture Mechanics Concepts to Hierarchical Biomechanics of Bone and Bone-like Materials
TL;DR: In this article, the structural hierarchy of bone and bone-like materials is analyzed from a structural optimization point of view, and a model of fracture-tolerant bone is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospinning of polymer nanofibers for tissue regeneration
TL;DR: Current strategies to develop advanced nan ofibrous polymer-based scaffolds via electrospinning, their applications in regenerating human musculoskeletal tissues, and the use of polymer nanofibers to deliver growth factors or small molecules for regenerative medicine are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Laser Melting: a regular unit cell approach for the manufacture of porous, titanium, bone in-growth constructs, suitable for orthopedic applications.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that optimized structures have been produced that possesses ideal qualities for bone in-growth applications and that these structures can be applied in the production of orthopedic devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metallic powder-bed based 3D printing of cellular scaffolds for orthopaedic implants: A state-of-the-art review on manufacturing, topological design, mechanical properties and biocompatibility.
TL;DR: This paper presents a state-of-the-art overview mainly on manufacturing, topological design, mechanical properties and biocompatibility of cellular Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds via SLM and SEBM methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasticity and toughness in bone
TL;DR: Our bones are full of microscopic cracks, but the hierarchical character of the bones' structure makes them remarkably resistant to fracture as mentioned in this paper, from molecular to macroscopic scales, which makes them resilient to fracture.

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.

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.
