Microfibril orientation dominates the microelastic properties of human bone tissue at the lamellar length scale.

Microfibril orientation dominates the microelastic properties of human bone tissue at the lamellar length scale.

The elastic properties of bone tissue determine the biomechanical behavior of bone at the organ level. It is now widely accepted that the nanoscale structure of bone plays an important role to determine the elastic properties at the tissue level. Hence, in addition to the mineral density, the struct...
