Abstract: In most finite element (FE) studies of vertebral bodies, axial compression is the loading mode of choice to investigate structural properties, but this might not adequately reflect the various ...

Abstract: The identification of anisotropic elastic properties of lamellar bone based on nanoindentation data is an open problem. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a method to estimate ...

Abstract: There was an error in the original version of Fig. 9. Figure 9 has been corrected and is reprinted here.

Abstract: Classical finite element (FE) models can estimate vertebral stiffness and strength with much lower computational costs than μFE analyses, but the accuracy of these models rely on calibrated ...

Abstract: Osteoporosis-related vertebral body fractures involve large compressive strains of trabecular bone. The small strain mechanical properties of the trabecular bone such as the elastic modulus or ...

Abstract: Measuring the microscopic mechanical properties of bone tissue is important in support of understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of many bone diseases. Knowledge about these properties provides ...
