Bone comprises mechanically different materials in a specific hierarchical structure.
Mineralized collagen fibrils (MCFs), represented by tropocollagen molecules and …

This paper comprehensively reviews the various experimental and numerical techniques,
which were considered to determine the fracture characteristics of the cortical bone. This …

In this work we present a novel algorithm for generating in-silico biomimetic models of a
cortical bone microstructure towards manufacturing biomimetic bone via additive …

Abstract Purpose of Review The goal of this review is to summarize recent advances in
modeling of bone fracture using fracture mechanics–based approaches at multiple length …

Entheses are complex multi-tissue regions of the musculoskeletal system serving the
challenging task of connecting highly dissimilar materials such as the compliant tendon to …

In this study, we propose a 3D non-linear finite element (FE) unit-cell model to investigate
the post-yield behavior of mineralized collagen fibril arrays (FAY). We then compare the …

Bone ultrastructure at sub-lamellar length scale is a key structural unit in bone that bridges
nano-and microscale hierarchies of the tissue. Despite its influence on bulk response of …

Mineralized collagen fibrils (MCFs) are the fundamental building blocks of bone tissue and
contribute significantly to the mechanical behavior of bone. However, it is still largely …

Upon placement of an implant into living bone, an interface is formed through which various
biochemical, biological, physical, and mechanical interactions take place. This interface …

A key length scale of interest in assessing the fracture resistance of bone is the
submicroscale which is composed of mineralized collagen fibrils (MCF) and extra-fibrillar …
