This review presents findings made in studies of large mammalian bones, especially from
racehorse training experiments (2–8 years old, third metacarpal, tarsal) and human autopsy …

It is difficult to define the 'physiological'mechanical properties of bone. Traumatic failures in-
vivo are more likely to be orders of magnitude faster than the quasistatic tests usually …

Ageing and associated skeletal diseases pose a significant challenge for health care
systems worldwide. Age-related fractures have a serious impact on personal, social and …

Toughness is a quantitative measure of bone quality in terms of its susceptibility to fracture.
Thus, to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of age-related bone fractures, it is necessary …

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 …

Generalized bone loss within the femoral neck accounts for only 15% of the increase in
intracapsular hip fracture risk between the ages of 60 and 80 years. Conventional histology …

Despite a general understanding that bone microdamage has distinct strain dependent
morphologies, very little information exists on how different damage morphologies develop …

Much is known about skeletal adaptation in relation to the mechanical functions that bones
serve. This includes how bone adapts to mechanical loading during an individual's lifetime …

To understand the inelastic response of bone, a three-part investigation has been
conducted. In the first, unload/reload tests have been used to characterize the hysteresis …

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