Quantitative assessment of the strength and toughness of bone has become an integral part
of many biological and bioengineering studies on the structural properties of bone and their …

In this paper, we review analytical and computational models of bone fracture and strength.
Bone fracture is a complex phenomenon due to the composite, inhomogeneous and …

Toughening in hierarchically structured materials like bone arises from the arrangement of
constituent material elements and their interactions. Unlike microcracking, which entails …

An evaluation of the crack growth resistance of human coronal dentin was performed on
tissue obtained from patients between ages 18 and 83. Stable crack extension was …

Microstructural and compositional changes that occur due to aging, pathological conditions,
or pharmacological treatments alter cortical bone fracture resistance. However, the relative …

Objective Understanding the effects of biological aging on human tissues has been a topic
of extensive research. With the increase in healthy seniors and quality of life that topic is …

Bones are the principal structural components of a skeleton; they play unique roles in the
body providing its shape maintenance, protection of internal organs and transmission of …

A broad understanding of bone and tooth microstructure is necessary for constructing the
biological profile of an individual or individuals within a population. Bone Histology: An …

The risk of bone fracture depends in part on tissue quality, not just the size and mass. This
study assessed the postyield energy dissipation of cortical bone in tension as a function of …

The crack growth resistance of human dentin was characterized as a function of relative
distance from the DEJ and the corresponding microstructure. Compact tension specimens …
