The characteristic toughness and strength of bone result from the nature of bone matrix, the
mineralized extracellular matrix produced by osteoblasts. The mechanical properties and …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) combined with nanoindentation technique was used to
definitely, site-specifically, test the nanomechanical properties, including nanohardness and …

The biological mechanisms underlying bone‐titanium integration and biomechanical
properties of the integrated bone are poorly understood. This study assesses intrinsic …

Biological structures are continually adapting to changes in their physical environment. In
bones, for example, it has been widely accepted that mineral tissue is resorbed in regions …

Poro-micromechanics allows for the quantification of poroelastic properties such as the Biot
and Skempton coefficients, once a continuum micromechanics model for the material under …

To support future studies of tibial bending in a murine model of senile osteoporosis
(SAMP6), we sought to determine the relationship between applied external bending force …

Scanning acoustic microscope techniques enable determination of mechanical properties of
small samples. These techniques can be applied to a single trabecula of the cancellous …

An approach was developed to evaluate the load transfer mechanism in the
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area before, during and after mandibular ramus elongation …

The poroelastic problem associated with a hollow cylinder under cyclic loading is solved.
This cylinder models an osteon, basic unit of cortical bone. Both fluid and solid phases are …

BACKGROUND: Chronic weakness of the femoral musculature with old age may result in
prolonged exposure of bone to critical understressing and, thus, cause osteoporotic …
