The effect of strain rate on the mechanical properties of human cortical bone (2008)
Journal Article
Hansen, U., Zioupos, P., Simpson, R., Currey, J. D., & Hynd, D. (2008). The effect of strain rate on the mechanical properties of human cortical bone. Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 130(1), Article 011011. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.2838032

Bone mechanical properties are typically evaluated at relatively low strain rates. However, the strain rate related to traumatic failure is likely to be orders of magnitude higher and this higher strain rate is likely to affect the mechanical propert...

Strain patterns during tensile, compressive, and shear fatigue of human cortical bone and implications for bone biomechanics (2006)
Journal Article
Winwood, K., Zioupos, P., Currey, J. D., Cotton, J. R., & Taylor, M. (2006). Strain patterns during tensile, compressive, and shear fatigue of human cortical bone and implications for bone biomechanics. Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 79(2), 289-297. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbm.a.30796

It is a common theme in basic bone biomechanics and in biomechanical applications that much of the behavior can be determined and is dictated by the level of strain, whether this pertains to bone physiology, bone remodeling, osseoinduction, osseointe...

Tissue heterogeneity, composite architecture and fractal dimension effects in the fracture of ageing human bone (2006)
Journal Article
Zioupos, P., Kaffy, C., & Currey, J. D. (2006). Tissue heterogeneity, composite architecture and fractal dimension effects in the fracture of ageing human bone. International Journal of Fracture, 139(3-4), 407-424. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10704-006-6581-8

The mechanical characteristics of human bone, especially those relating to age, are of immense interest to everyone. A great amount of information has already been accumulated on the macromechanical/phenomenological aspects of bone behaviour and whil...
