The nanoindentation has proved to be a most promising technique in the investigation of the
bone at the level of individual osteons and lamellae. It provides the nanomechanical …

Measurement of the mechanical properties of bone is important for estimating the stresses
and strains exerted at the cellular level due to loading experienced on a macro-scale. Nano …

INTRODUCTION: Many recent investigations suggest that the elastic properties of trabecular
bone tissue at the microstructural scale may be very different from those of macroscopic …

Nanoindentation provides the ideal framework to determine mechanical properties of bone
at the tissue scale without being affected by the size, shape, and porosity of the bone …

Nanoindentation is a sophisticated technique that has been used to characterize a wide
selection of materials, including bone. Given the complex and hierarchical nature of bone …

Bone is a dynamical, anisotropic, hierarchical, inhomogeneous and time-dependent
biological material. At the micro and nano scales, their mechanical and structural …

A mechanical behaviour of bone tissues is defined by mechanical properties of its
microstructural constituents. Also, those properties are important as an input for finite …

There are generally two types of bone tissue: trabecular and cortical. Cortical bone is the
more dense tissue found on the surface of bones and trabecular bone is a highly porous …

Nanoindentation is widely used to measure the mechanical properties of bio-tissues.
However, viscoelastic effects during the nanoindentation are seldom considered rigorously …

Nanoindentation has become a standard method for measuring mechanical properties of
bone, especially within microstructural units such as individual osteons or trabeculae. The …
