Trabecular bone is a highly porous, heterogeneous, and anisotropic material which can be
found at the epiphyses of long bones and in the vertebral bodies. Studying the mechanical …

The apparent mechanical behavior of trabecular bone depends on properties at the tissue or
trabecular level. Many investigators have attempted to determine trabecular tissue …

Bone is a complex tissue that is continually being torn down and replaced by biological
remodeling. As the main constituent in whole bones (which as organs contain other tissues …

In the context of osteoporosis, evaluation of bone fracture risk and improved design of
epiphyseal bone implants rely on accurate knowledge of the mechanical properties of …

Bone adapts to habitual loading through mechanobiological signaling. Osteocytes are the
primary mechanical sensors in bone, upregulating osteogenic factors and downregulating …

Due to daily loading, trabecular bone is subjected to deformations (ie, strain), which lead to
stress in the bone tissue. When stress and/or strain deviate from the normal range, the …

The objective of this review is to provide basic information pertaining to biomechanical
aspects of bone as they relate to tissue engineering. The review is written for the general …

Trabecular bone strength is marked not only by the onset of local yielding, but also by post-
yield behavior. To study and predict trabecular bone elastic and yield properties, micro-finite …

▪ Abstract Trabecular bone is a complex material with substantial heterogeneity. Its elastic
and strength properties vary widely across anatomic sites, and with aging and disease …

Despite the importance of multiaxial failure of trabecular bone in many biomechanical
applications, to date no complete multiaxial failure criterion for human trabecular bone has …
