...É. Budyn; J. Jonvaux; C. Funfschilling; T. Hoc A multiscale analysis of the mechanical behavior of bovine Haversian cortical bone is presented in the frame-work of linear elasticity. Cortical bone displays a complex microstructure that includes four phases: Haversian canals, osteons, cement lines...

... in select biological materials that include bone, dentitional tissues, and a variety of woods. Our results indicate that woods are an order of magnitude more anisotropic than hard tissues and apatites. Finally, based on the available data, it is found that the anisotropy in human femur increases by over 40...

...Susan Mischinski; Ani Ural Bone is similar to fiber-reinforced composite materials made up of distinct phases such as osteons (fiber), interstitial bone (matrix), and cement lines (matrix-fiber interface). Microstructural features including osteons and cement lines are considered to play...

... in Fig. 1 . The constitutive relations for the bone tissue and the weakness planes take the form 6 σ ¯ ̇ i j = C i j k l ε ¯ ̇ k l ;     t ¯ ̇ i = k i j [ v j ] In the equation above, σ ¯ i j , ε ¯ i j...

... tests on dried cadaver bones. The bones were first subjected to DXA as well as spiral CT measurements to establish the density properties and the details of geometry. Subsequently, the specimens were tested under controlled boundary conditions, to induce Colles’ type of fracture. Following these tests...
