## Abstract Nanoindentation was used to characterize the intrinsic mechanical properties of bone tissue from eight (8) children with type III Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). The bone samples were harvested from the cortex portion at the site of bowing (the mid 2/3 of the shaft of the tibia/femur). Un

## Abstract The effects of two key experimental parameters on the measured nanomechanical properties of lamellar and interlamellar tissue were examined in dehydrated rabbit cancellous bone. An anhydrous sample preparation protocol was developed to maintain surface integrity and produce RMS surface
The elastic properties of several microstructural components of dry human vertebrae (T-12 and L-1) and tibiae have been investigated in the longitudinal and transverse directions using nanoindentation. The largest Young's modulus was that for the interstitial lamellae in the longitudinal direction (
Exposure to microgravity causes a decrease in bone mass and altered bone geometry due to the lack of weight-bearing forces on the skeleton. The mechanical properties of bone are due not only to the structure and geometry, but also to the tissue properties of the bone material itself. To study the ef
