The distribution of induced electrical activity in bent long bone.

TLDR
An analytical model based on classical piezoelectric theory was used to related electrical effects to the stress-state in a bone cross-section for simple bending of a cylindrical bone shaft, demonstrating that the overall polarities of the polarization volume charge and the induced electrical potential compare favorably with available experimental findings.

A linear piezoelectric model for characterizing stress generated potentials in bone

TL;DR: A comprehensive model is presented for the characterization of stress generated potentials (SGP) in bone, based entirely upon the linear piezoelectricity of single crystal collagen, which is consistent with all major experimental SGP observations and provides a fresh viewpoint for externally applied electricity for bone stimulation.

Physical basis for piezoelectricity of bone matrix

TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental studies of the electromechanical behaviour in bone were examined and the experimental techniques and obtained results were critically reviewed in the light of the major interpretations of this phenomenon.

Propagation of torsional waves in tubular bones

TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of torsional waves in tubular bones has been studied by considering material inhomogeneity and anisotropy of osseous tissues, and numerical values of the phase velocities and attenuation coefficients are calculated for different frequencies in the ultrasonic range.

Induced electric and magnetic fields due to wave propagation in a tubular bone

TL;DR: Electric and magnetic fields in tubular bones induced due to the propagation of travelling axisymmetric torsional waves, are determined in the paper by accounting for the piezoelectricity, inhomogeneity and anisotropy of osseous tissues.

Generation of Electric Potentials by Bone in Response to Mechanical Stress

TL;DR: The amplitude of electrical potentials generated in stressed bone is dependent upon the rate and magnitude of bony deformation, while polarity is determined by the direction of bending, while areas under compression develop negative potentials with respect to other areas.

Piezoelectric effect in bone.

TL;DR: There is convincing evidence that bone has an orderly morphological and microscopic structure that might be expected to exhibit piezoelectric properties, as in the case of many other multicrystalline structures.

Piezoelectric Effects in Collagen

TL;DR: The direct and converse piezoelectric effects have been observed in the Achilles tendon of ox and horse, which consists of collagen fibers in which the collagen molecules are highly orientated and crystallized as discussed by the authors.

Piezoelectricity as a fundamental property of biological tissues.

TL;DR: Piezoelectric effects have been produced in a number of soft tissues, as well as hard, and appear to be associated with the presence of oriented fibrous proteins such as collagen.
