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 tissue-level Young's modulus of trabecular bone is important for detailed mechanical
analysis of bone and bone-implant mechanical interactions. However, the heterogeneity and …

One outstanding issue regarding the relationship between elastic modulus and density for
trabecular bone is whether the relationship depends on anatomic site. To address this, on …

The ability to determine trabecular bone tissue elastic and failure properties has biological
and clinical importance. To date, trabecular tissue yield strains remain unknown due to …

The quality of life of ageing populations is increasingly determined by age-related changes
to the mechanical properties of numerous biological tissues. Degradation and mechanical …

Superior mechanical properties, rich surface chemistry, and good biocompatibility of
diamond nanoparticles make them attractive in biomaterial applications. A multifunctional …

The mechanical properties of whole bones, bone tissue, and the bone-implant interfaces are
as important as their morphological and structural aspects. Mechanical Testing of Bone and …

OBJECTIVES: This work focuses on a titanium alloy implants incorporating a gradient of
porosity, from the inner core to the outer surface, obtained by laser sintering of metal …

Background Bone mass, geometry, and tissue material properties contribute to bone
structural integrity. Thus, bone strength arises from both bone quantity and quality. Bone …

Nanoindentation has recently emerged as a powerful tool for measuring nano-and
microscale mechanical properties in tissues and other biomaterials. This technique has …
