An experimentally informed statistical elasto-plastic mineralised collagen fibre model at the micrometre and nanometre lengthscale

Abstract Bone is an intriguingly complex material. It combines high strength, toughness and lightweight via an elaborate hierarchical structure. This structure results from a biologically driven self-assembly and self-organisation, and leads to different deformation mechanisms along the length scale...
