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:

Elastic modeling of bone at nanostructural level
Elham Hamed,Iwona Jasiuk +1 more
TL;DR: The composition and structure of the MCF is reviewed and the existing models proposed in literature are summarized to predict its effective elastic response, and some representative models of bone at nanoscale (mineralized collagen fibril) are outlined.

Porous Nb-Ti-Ta alloy scaffolds for bone tissue engineering: Fabrication, mechanical properties and in vitro/vivo biocompatibility.
TL;DR: The porous Nb-Ti-Ta alloy is potentially useful in the hard tissue implants for the appropriate mechanical properties as well as the good biocompatible properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of improved fixation methods for dental implants. Part II: Biomechanical integrity at bone–implant interface
TL;DR: The mechanical requirements of the tissue-implant interface is reviewed and the understanding of complex mechanical bone behavior and size-dependent properties ranging from a nano- to a macroscopic level are essential in the biomechanical optimization of implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication and characterization of Ag doped hydroxyapatite-polyvinyl alcohol composite nanofibers and its in vitro biological evaluations for bone tissue engineering applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have successfully fabricated composite nanofibers in the combination of various concentration of Ag doped hydroxyapatite such as 1, 2, 3, and 5% with polyvinyl alcohol solution.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
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.
