...Sara G. Moshage; Annette M. McCoy; Mariana E. Kersh Density–modulus relationships are necessary to develop finite element models of bones that may be used to evaluate local tissue response to different physical activities. It is unknown if juvenile equine trabecular bone may be described...

... measurement elastography anisotropy nondestructive imaging modulus trabecular bone inverse problems Many tissues, such as cancellous bone, tendon, and arterial walls, are anisotropic materials that can display substantial variations in material properties even within a single anatomic site...

...Mack G. Gardner-Morse; Nelson J. Tacy; Bruce D. Beynnon; Maria L. Roemhildt Alterations to joint tissues, including subchondral bone, occur with osteoarthritis. A microindentation technique was developed to determine the local compressive modulus of subchondral bone. This test, in conjunction...

...Narendra K. Simha; Hui Jin; Mellanie L. Hall; Sidharth Chiravarambath; Jack L. Lewis, Ph.D. Our preliminary indentation experiments showed that the equilibrium elastic modulus of murine tibial cartilage increased with decreasing indenter size: flat-ended 60 deg conical tips with end diameters of 15...

... predicted for normal and shear loading of fibrils. Model predictions resulted in transversely isotropic collagen fibrils in which the modulus along the longer axis of the fibril was the greatest. All the elastic moduli increased with increasing mineral volume fraction whereas Poisson’s ratios decreased...

... to yield at 0.50 percent strain per second in tension or compression. The nonlinearity was quantified by the reduction in tangent modulus at 0.20 percent and 0.40 percent strain as compared to the initial modulus. For the pooled data, the mean ± SD percentage reduction in tangent modulus at 0.20 percent...
