Excerpt

Bone is a highly hierarchical natural composite material, which mechanical properties are investigated from the physiological elastic behavior up to impact or fatigue damage accumulation responsible for traumatic or stress fractures. Each hierarchical level of organization contributes to the global mechanical response of a bone structure:
  • The mineralized collagen fibril (MCF, 200 nm)
  • The lamella (2–7 μm)
  • The bone structural unit (BSU, 60 μm)
  • Bone tissue, cortical shell, or trabeculae (100–3,000 μm)
  • Trabecular bone (TB, mm)
  • Organ (cm)
