The mechanical properties of bones are governed by the same principles as those of man-
made load-bearing structures, but the organism is able to adapt its bone structure to …

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 …

The first edition of Skeletal Tissue Mechanics, published in 1998, grew out of Bruce Martin's
lecture notes for a course by the same name, which was part of the biomedical engineering …

Developed from the author's course on advanced mechanics of composite materials, Finite
Element Analysis of Composite Materials with Abaqus® shows how powerful finite element …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

The objective of the present study is to summarize and recapitulate some of the methods of
analyses of brittle response of solids. In general, the discussion is limited to the analyses of …

Ageing societies suffer from an increasing incidence of bone fractures. Bone strength
depends on the amount of mineral measured by clinical densitometry, but also on the …

Cortical and Trabecular Bone TONY M. KEAVENY and WILSON C. HAYES Orthopaedic …

Strain-induced damage in bovine laminar bone has been examined using laser scanning
confocal microscopy (LSCM). The specimens were loaded in a fluorescein solution, which …

Bone fails as a result of damage accumulation in the form of microcracks. Antler is in
essence less mineralized bone, but is much tougher than ordinary bone. Failure through …
