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 …

The use of nanoindentation to determine nanomechanical properties of mineralized tissues
has been investigated extensively. A detailed, critical, and comprehensive review of this …

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

The effects of two key experimental parameters on the measured nanomechanical
properties of lamellar and interlamellar tissue were examined in dehydrated rabbit …

The combination of biology and nanotechnology has led to a new generation of
nanodevices that make it possible to characterize the chemical, mechanical, and other …

Handbook of Nanophysics: Functional Nanomaterials illustrates the importance of tailoring
nanomaterials to achieve desired functions in applications. Each peer-reviewed chapter …

The secondary osteon is the fundamental building block of compact cortical bone at the
tissue level. Light and scanning electron microscopy have shown that the osteon consists of …

This paper presents the explicit mapping relations between topological structure and
position and orientation characteristic (POC) of mechanism motion output. It deals with (1) …

The mechanical performance of bone is of paramount importance for the quality of life we
experience. The structural integrity of bone, its hierarchical structure, organisation and its …

Human cortical bone contains two types of tissue: osteonal and interstitial tissue. Growing
bone is not well-known in terms of its intrinsic material properties. To date, distinctions …
