Microcracking damage and the fracture process in relation to strain rate in human cortical bone tensile failure (2008)
Journal Article
Zioupos, P., Hansen, U., & Currey, J. D. (2008). Microcracking damage and the fracture process in relation to strain rate in human cortical bone tensile failure. Journal of biomechanics, 41(14), 2932-2939. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.07.025

It is difficult to define the 'physiological' mechanical properties of bone. Traumatic failures in-vivo are more likely to be orders of magnitude faster than the quasistatic tests usually employed in-vitro. We have reported recently [Hansen, U., Ziou...

Fatigue strength of human cortical bone: Age, physical, and material heterogeneity effects (2008)
Journal Article
Zioupos, P., Gresle, M., & Winwood, K. (2008). Fatigue strength of human cortical bone: Age, physical, and material heterogeneity effects. Journal of biomedical materials research. Part A, 86(3), 627-636. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbm.a.31576

Human bone is highly heterogeneous at the microscale and this heterogeneity has been thought to relate to some fracture scenarios. The fatigue strength of cortical bone has been shown to relate to its inner architecture (osteonal or fibrolamellar) an...

Laboratory studies of near-grazing impulsive sound propagating over rough water (2008)
Journal Article

There is a need to prescreen large numbers of individuals for osteoporosis due to current demands on clinical resources. Some previous attempts to predict individuals at risk have used simple indices based on patient information, or Quantitative Ultr...

Density is a salient property of bone and plays a crucial role in determining the mechanical properties of both its cancellous and cortical structural forms. Density is defined in a number of ways at either the bone tissue (Dapp, apparent) or the bon... Read More about Some basic relationships between density values in cancellous and cortical bone.
