The evolution of the mechanical properties of amniote bone 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
J.D. Currey 《Journal of biomechanics》1987,20(11-12):1035-1044
162 specimens from 19 species of amniote were tested for various mechanical and physical properties to ascertain whether there were characteristic differences between different groups. All mechanical properties showed very great variation. In general the reptiles were not inferior to the mammals and birds. The histology of living forms was compared to that of fossil forms, to see whether 'weak' histology was more characteristic of primitive amniotes. The earliest reptiles probably had rather complaint bone, but it was probably tough. Modern types of bone appeared over two hundred million years ago. Very specialised bone, like that of the bullae of whales and antlers, may have evolved only in the mammals, but the fossil record is not complete enough to assert this confidently. 相似文献

The cyanogen bromide‐resistant proteins of lamprey cartilage are biochemically related to the mammalian elastic protein, elastin. This study investigates their mechanical properties and enquires whether, like elastin, long‐range elasticity arises in them from a combination of entropic and hydrophobic mechanisms. Branchial and pericardial proteins resembled elastin mechanically, with elastic moduli of 0.13–0.35 MPa, breaking strains of 50%, and low hysteresis. Annular and piston proteins had higher elastic moduli (0.27–0.75 MPa) and larger hysteresis. Exchanging solvent water for trifluoroethanol increased the elastic moduli, whereas increasing temperature lowered the elastic moduli. Raman microspectrometry showed small differences in side‐chain modes consistent with reported biochemical differences. Decomposition of the amide I band indicated that the secondary structures were like those of elastin, preponderantly unordered, which probably confer the conformational flexibility necessary for entropy elasticity. Piston and annular proteins showed the strongest interactions with water, suggesting, together with the mechanical testing data, a greater role of hydrophobic interactions in their mechanics. Two‐photon imaging of intrinsic fluorescence and dye injection experiments showed that annular and piston proteins formed closed‐cell honeycomb structures, whereas the branchial and pericardial proteins formed open‐cell structures, which may account for the differences in mechanical properties. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The mechanical properties of trabecular bone: Dependence on anatomic location and function 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

In 1961, Evans and King documented the mechanical properties of trabecular bone from multiple locations in the proximal human femur. Since this time, many investigators have cataloged the distribution of trabecular bone material properties from multiple locations within the human skeleton to include femur, tibia, humerus, radius, vertebral bodies, and iliac crest. The results of these studies have revealed tremendous variations in material properties and anisotropy. These variations have been attributed to functional remodeling as dictated by Wolff's Law. Both linear and power functions have been found to explain the relationship between trabecular bone density and material properties. Recent studies have re-emphasized the need to accurately quantify trabecular bone architecture proposing several algorithms capable of determining the anisotropy, connectivity and morphology of the bone. These past studies, as well as continuing work, have significantly increased the accuracy of analytical and experimental models investigating bone, and bone/implant interfaces as well as enhanced our perspective towards understanding the factors which may influence bone formation or resorption. 相似文献

This paper deals with the torsional moment depending on the angle of torsion of the compact bone in laboratory animals and humans. Based on the data from laboratory animals, obtained by measurement, the data on dependence of the torsional moment and the angle of torsion were assumed for humans. Measurements were carried out on four groups of compact bone in laboratory animals. One was the control group, and three other groups were treated by various vitamin D3 metabolites. Equal measurements were performed in only one group of compact bone in humans, due to the impossibility to treat humans with vitamin D3 metabolites. Functional relations between the angle of torsion and the torsional moment for all groups of animal body tissue were determined by measurements, and the results were used to assume the reaction of human compact bone tissue if treated by vitamin D3 metabolites. 相似文献

Heterogeneity of the mechanical properties of demineralized bone 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the collagenous component of bone is required for composite modeling of bone tissue and for understanding the age- and disease-related reductions in the ductility and strength of bone. The overall goal of this study was to investigate the heterogeneity of the mechanical properties of demineralized bone which remains unexplained and may be due to differences in the collagen structure or organization or in experimental protocols. Uniaxial tension tests were conducted to measure the elastic and failure properties of demineralized human femoral (n = 10) and tibial (n = 13) and bovine humeral (n = 8) and tibial (n = 8) cortical bone. Elastic modulus differed between groups (p = 0.02), varying from 275 +/- 94 MPa (mean +/- SD) to 450 + 50 MPa. Similarly, ultimate stress varied across groups from 15 + 4.2 to 26 + 4.7 MPa (p = 0.03). No significant differences in strain-to-failure were observed between any groups in this study (pooled mean of 8.4 +/- 1.6%; p = 0.42). However, Bowman et al. (1996) reported an average ultimate strain of 12.3 +/- 0.5% for demineralized bovine humeral bone, nearly 40% higher than our value. Taken together, it follows that all the monotonic mechanical properties of demineralized bone can display substantial heterogeneity. Future studies directed at explaining such differences may therefore provide insight into aging and disease of bone tissue. 相似文献

Linear and depressed skull fractures are frequent mechanisms of head injury and are often associated with traumatic brain injury. Accurate knowledge of the fracture of cranial bone can provide insight into the prevention of skull fracture injuries and help aid the design of energy absorbing head protection systems and safety helmets. Cranial bone is a complex material comprising of a three-layered structure: external layers consist of compact, high-density cortical bone and the central layer consists of a low-density, irregularly porous bone structure.In this study, cranial bone specimens were extracted from 8 fresh-frozen cadavers (F=4, M=4; 81±11 years old). 63 specimens were obtained from the parietal and frontal cranial bones. Prior to testing, all specimens were scanned using a μCT scanner at a resolution of 56.9 μm. The specimens were tested in a three-point bend set-up at different dynamic speeds (0.5, 1 and 2.5 m/s). The associated mechanical properties that were calculated for each specimen include the 2nd moment of inertia, the sectional elastic modulus, the maximum force at failure, the energy absorbed until failure and the maximum bending stress. Additionally, the morphological parameters of each specimen and their correlation with the resulting mechanical parameters were examined.It was found that testing speed, strain rate, cranial sampling position and intercranial variation all have a significant effect on some or all of the computed mechanical parameters. A modest correlation was also found between percent bone volume and both the elastic modulus and the maximum bending stress. 相似文献

We studied the biomechanical behavior of orthotopic canine autografts as influenced by vascularized supply and the administration of cyclosporin A at three months and six months post-surgery. The model was the proximal 8 cm of the fibula in young adult dogs. In vascularized grafts, blood supply was re-established by microvascular re-anastomosis. Experimental controls were sham-operated and unoperated bones. Mid-graft test sections were subjected to loading-to-failure in torsion to determine the strength and stiffness. In both three- and six-month groups, vascularized grafts were significantly stronger and stiffer than contralateral nonvascularized grafts. Vascularized grafts were not significantly different from sham-operated bones. A 30-day regimen of cyclosporin A was found to have no measurable effect on mechanical properties for any individual treatment group. The results indicate that re-established blood supply can be a major factor in maintaining the mechanical integrity in large-segment cortical autografts. 相似文献

The covariation of a number of mechanical of properties, and some physical characteristics, of compact bones from a wide range of bones were examined. Young's modulus was well predicted by a combination of mineral content and porosity. Increasing Young's modulus was associated with: increasing stress at yield, increasing bending strength, and a somewhat higher resilience, tensile strength and fatigue strength. Contrarily, in the post-yield region a higher Young's modulus (and more clearly, a higher mineral content) was associated with: a reduced work to fracture in tension, a reduced impact strength and an increased notch sensitivity in impact. Increasing porosity is associated with deleterious effects in the pre-yield region, but has little effect in the post-yield region. Bone, like many other materials, is unable to have good qualities in both the pre- and post-yield regions. Since an increase in mineral or Young's modulus is more potent, that is deleterious, in the post-yield than it is advantageous in the pre-yield region, it is likely that mineral content will be selected to be slightly lower than would be the case if it were equally potent in both regions. As is usual in biology, different adaptive extremes are incompatible. 相似文献

Much attention has been focused on the passive mechanical properties of the myocardium, which determines left ventricular (LV) diastolic mechanics, but the significance of the visceral pericardium (VP) has not been extensively studied. A unique en face three-dimensional volumetric view of the porcine VP was obtained using two-photon excitation fluorescence to detect elastin and backscattered second harmonic generation to detect collagen, in addition to standard light microscopy with histological staining. Below a layer of mesothelial cells, collagen and elastin fibers, extending several millimeters, form several distinct layers. The configuration of the collagen and elastin layers as well as the location of the VP at the epicardium providing a geometric advantage led to the hypothesis that VP mechanical properties play a role in the residual stress and passive stiffness of the heart. The removal of the VP by blunt dissection from porcine LV slices changed the opening angle from 53.3 +/- 10.3 to 27.3 +/- 5.7 degrees (means +/- SD, P < 0.05, n = 4). In four porcine hearts where the VP was surgically disrupted, a significant decrease in opening angle was found (35.5 +/- 4.0 degrees ) as well as a rightward shift in the ex vivo pressure-volume relationship before and after disruption and a decrease in LV passive stiffness at lower LV volumes (P < 0.05). These data demonstrate the significant and previously unreported role that the VP plays in the residual stress and passive stiffness of the heart. Alterations in this layer may occur in various disease states that effect diastolic function. 相似文献

The mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity and stress-relaxation) of different venous segments of the canine superior vena cava were determined as well as the composition of the vessel wall by means of physical, biochemical and histological methods. It was found that the wall of the vena cava was structurally and mechanically a function of the metric position with respect to the right heart: the modulus of elasticity increased, the stress-relaxation decreased, the concentration of hydroxyproline, collagen and elastin increased and the amount of muscle fibres decreased with increasing distal distance from the right heart. A significant linear correlation coefficient was observed between the modulus of elasticity and the structural wall components. The data presented show the axial heterogeneity and the dependency of the mechanical properties upon the venous vessel wall composition. 相似文献

Biaxial testing, histological measurements and theoretical continuum mechanics modeling were employed to investigate the structure and mechanical properties of the mitral valve leaflet-strut chordae transition zone (LCT). The results showed that geometry changes and collagen fiber angle distribution contribute to variations in mechanical properties in the LCT zone. A simple three-coefficient exponential constitutive law was able to simulate the variation in stress-stretch behavior in the LCT zone by spatially varying a single coefficient and incorporating collagen fiber angle and degree of alignment. This quantitative information can greatly improve the predictions from biomechanical valve models by incorporating regional variations of structure and properties in the mitral leaflet-chordae tendineae system. These data provide the foundation for a computational model for studying stress distributions before and following chordal rupture, which may indicate the underlying reasons for the development of valve insufficiency in patients. 相似文献

In the context of osteoporosis, evaluation of bone fracture risk and improved design of epiphyseal bone implants rely on accurate
knowledge of the mechanical properties of trabecular bone. A multi-axial loading chamber was designed, built and applied to
explore the compressive multi-axial yield and strength properties of human trabecular bone from different anatomical locations.
A thorough experimental protocol was elaborated for extraction of cylindrical bone samples, assessment of their morphology
by micro-computed tomography and application of different mechanical tests: torsion, uni-axial traction, uni-axial compression
and multi-axial compression. A total of 128 bone samples were processed through the protocol and subjected to one of the mechanical
tests up to yield and failure. The elastic data were analyzed using a tensorial fabric–elasticity relationship, while the
yield and strength data were analyzed with fabric-based, conewise generalized Hill criteria. For each loading mode and more
importantly for the combined results, strong relationships were demonstrated between volume fraction, fabric and the elastic,
yield and strength properties of human trabecular bone. Despite the reviewed limitations, the obtained results will help improve
the simulation of the damage behavior of human bones and bone-implant systems using the finite element method. 相似文献
