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
The Ultrastructure of Bone and Its Relevance to Mechanical Properties
TL;DR: Finite element computations of mechanical properties of bone show that the model including such features generates greater stiffness and strength than are obtained using conventional models in which most of the mineral, in the form of isolated crystals, is situated inside collagen fibrils.

Open forward and inverse problems in theoretical modeling of bone tissue adaptation.
TL;DR: An overview of open problems in theoretical modeling of bone tissue adaptation is presented to highlight potentially important problems that have been so far largely overlooked and to inspire new avenues of research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported on the synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HA) thin films on polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) substrates by two alternative methods: pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and radio-frequency magnetron sputtering (MS).

Sensitivity analysis and parametric study of elastic properties of an unidirectional mineralized bone fibril-array using mean field methods
TL;DR: Improved insight is provided in the parameters, which govern the fibril-array stiffness of mineralized tissues such as bone, which indicate that the degree of mineralization and the collagen stiffness dominate fibrIL-array elasticity.

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.

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.
