Anisotropic elastic properties of human femoral cortical bone and relationships with composition and microstructure in elderly

[Display omitted] The strong dependence between cortical bone elasticity at the millimetre-scale (mesoscale) and cortical porosity has been evidenced by previous studies. However, bone is an anisotropic composite material made by mineral, proteins and water assembled in a hierarchical structure. Whe...
