Mechanical properties and the hierarchical structure of bone

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basic biomechanical measurements of bone: a tutorial.

TL;DR: Although bone densitometry is often used as a surrogate to evaluate bone fragility, direct biomechanical testing of bone undoubtedly provides more information about mechanical integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topological design and additive manufacturing of porous metals for bone scaffolds and orthopaedic implants: A review.

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art of topological design and manufacturing processes of various types of porous metals, in particular for titanium alloys, biodegradable metals and shape memory alloys are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trabecular bone modulus–density relationships depend on anatomic site

TL;DR: There is no universal modulus-density relationship for on-axis loading for trabecular bone, and tissue moduli computed using methods that account for inter-site architectural variations did not differ across site, suggesting that the site-specificity in apparent moduli-density relationships may be attributed to differences in architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Harnessing nanotopography and integrin–matrix interactions to influence stem cell fate

TL;DR: How cell adhesions interact with nanotopography is discussed, and insight is provided as to how materials scientists can exploit these interactions to direct stem cell fate and to understand how the behaviour of stem cells in their niche can be controlled.

Applied Regression Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the Straight Line Case is used to fit a straight line by least squares, and the Durbin-Watson Test is used for checking the straight line fit.

The compressive behavior of bone as a two-phase porous structure.

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.

Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers

TL;DR: The preface to the first edition of Symbols and ABBREVIATIONS outlines the aims and objectives of the second edition, which aims to provide a “robust” discussion of the history and future prospects of dynamical engineering.

On the dependence of the elasticity and strength of cancellous bone on apparent density.

TL;DR: This paper presents a statistical analysis of the pooled data from a number of previous experiments concerning the dependence of the Young's moduli and strength of cancellous bone tissue upon apparent density and it is concluded that the suggestion of Wolff that compact bone tissue is simply more dense cancellousBone tissue is not an accurate statement.
Journal ArticleDOI

A continuous wave technique for the measurement of the elastic properties of cortical bone

TL;DR: The orthotropic elastic coefficients and the variation of these coefficients are presented as a function of anatomical position and the elastic properties of human and canine cortical femora are presented here.
