▪ Abstract Trabecular bone is a complex material with substantial heterogeneity. Its elastic
and strength properties vary widely across anatomic sites, and with aging and disease. …

The ability to determine trabecular bone tissue elastic and failure properties has biological
and clinical importance. To date, trabecular tissue yield strains remain unknown due to …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within their native environment of the stem cell niche in
bone receive biochemical stimuli from surrounding cells. These stimuli likely in fluence how …

The ability to predict trabecular failure using microstructure-based computational models
would greatly facilitate study of trabecular structure–function relations, multiaxial strength, and …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) reinforced collagen scaffolds have shown promise for synthetic bone
graft substitutes and tissue engineering scaffolds. Freeze-dried HA–collagen scaffolds are …

The convergence behavior of finite element models depends on the size of elements used,
the element polynomial order, and on the complexity of the applied loads. For high-resolution …

The hybrid cellular automaton (HCA) algorithm is a methodology developed to simulate the
process of structural adaptation in bones. This methodology incorporates a distributed …

Objective. This study was undertaken to determine the efficiency of the shoulder girdle muscles
during axial humeral rotation based on measurements of the moment arms. Design. The …

Although recent nanoindentation studies have revealed the existence of substantial variations
in tissue modulus within single specimens of trabecular bone, little is known regarding the …

Measurement of the mechanical properties of bone is important for estimating the stresses
and strains exerted at the cellular level due to loading experienced on a macro-scale. Nano- …
