Mechanical Behavior of Osteoporotic Bone at Sub-Lamellar Length Scales
*Correspondence: Asa H. Barber , School of Engineering, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 2UP, UK e-mail: [email protected] Osteoporosis is a disease known to promote bone fragility but the effect on the mechanical properties of bone material, which is independent of geometric effects, is particularly unclear. To address this problem, micro-beams of osteoporotic bone were prepared us...
متن کاملRole of damage mechanics in nanoindentation of lamellar bone at multiple sizes: experiments and numerical modeling.
The aim of this paper is to show that damage mechanisms can account for the response of lamellar bone to nanoindentation tests, with particular regards to the decrease of indentation stiffness with increasing penetration depth and to the loss of contact stiffness during the unloading phase of the test. For this purpose, indentation experiments on bovine cortical bone samples along axial and tra...
متن کاملMicrofibril Orientation Dominates the Microelastic Properties of Human Bone Tissue at the Lamellar Length Scale
The elastic properties of bone tissue determine the biomechanical behavior of bone at the organ level. It is now widely accepted that the nanoscale structure of bone plays an important role to determine the elastic properties at the tissue level. Hence, in addition to the mineral density, the structure and organization of the mineral nanoparticles and of the collagen microfibrils appear as pote...
متن کاملSub-lamellar microcracking and roles of canaliculi in human cortical bone.
Bone is a tough biological material. It is generally accepted that bone's toughness arises from its unique hierarchical structure, which in turn facilitates distributed microcracking prior to fracture. Yet, there has been limited progress on the detailed roles of the structural elements in the microcracking process. The present study examines the structure-microcracking relations at the lamella...
متن کاملTransverse depth-dependent changes in corneal collagen lamellar orientation and distribution
It is thought that corneal surface topography may be stabilized by the angular orientation of out-of plane lamellae that insert into the anterior limiting membrane. In this study, micro-focus X-ray scattering data were used to obtain quantitative information about lamellar inclination (with respect to the corneal surface) and the X-ray scatter intensity throughout the depth of the cornea from t...
