Mechanical Properties of Bone
Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. ~ Sir Francis Bacon

Learning ObjectivesConduct stress analysis on bone
sample◦Identify the source of anisotropic
material properties◦Analyze how changes in bone
composition affect stress and strain within bone
BIOE 3200 - Fall 2014
How is mechanical testing conducted?
Apply force, measure deformation
- OR -Pull (or push) a
known distance, measure force
Example of tensile testing:◦ https://

Bone is anisotropic: material properties are different in different directions.Bone is a composite of mainly collagen
and minerals (hydroxyapatite, or calcium)◦Collagen has a low E, high tensile strength,
low compressive strength◦Hydroxyapatite is stiff, brittle, high
compressive strengthAnisotropic material that can resist
different types of forcesStrongest in compression, weakest in
shear, intermediate in tensionBIOE 3200 - Fall 2014
What gives bone its anisotropic properties?
Cortical bone◦ E affected mainly by
mineral content◦ Resists torque
(concentric lamellae)
Cancellous bone◦ 25% as dense as
cortical◦ 10% as stiff as cortical◦ 500% as ductile as
cortical◦ Resists compression
and shear BIOE 3200 - Fall 2014
Bone is a dynamic materialSelf-repairs (osteoclasts,
osteoblasts)Changes with aging: becomes
stiffer and less ductileChanges with lack of weight-
bearing: becomes weaker
