The biaxial failure behavior of the human trabecular bone, which has potential relevance both for fall and gait loading conditions, is not well understood, particularly for low-density bone, which can display considerable mechanical anisotropy. Addressing this issue, we investigated the biaxial normal strength behavior and the underlying failure mechanisms for human trabecular bone displaying a wide range of bone volume fraction (0.06–0.34) and elastic anisotropy. Micro-computed tomography (CT)-based nonlinear finite element analysis was used to simulate biaxial failure in 15 specimens (5 mm cubes), spanning the complete biaxial normal stress failure space in the axial-transverse plane. The specimens, treated as approximately transversely isotropic, were loaded in the principal material orientation. We found that the biaxial stress yield surface was well characterized by the superposition of two ellipses—one each for yield failure in the longitudinal and transverse loading directions—and the size, shape, and orientation of which depended on bone volume fraction and elastic anisotropy. However, when normalized by the uniaxial tensile and compressive strengths in the longitudinal and transverse directions, all of which depended on bone volume fraction, microarchitecture, and mechanical anisotropy, the resulting normalized biaxial strength behavior was well described by a single pair of (longitudinal and transverse) ellipses, with little interspecimen variation. Taken together, these results indicate that the role of bone volume fraction, microarchitecture, and mechanical anisotropy is mostly accounted for in determining the uniaxial strength behavior and the effect of these parameters on the axial-transverse biaxial normal strength behavior per se is minor.

The local interpretation of microfinite element (μFE) simulations plays a pivotal role for studying bone structure–function relationships such as failure processes and bone remodeling. In the past μFE simulations have been successfully validated on the apparent level, however, at the tissue level validations are sparse and less promising. Furthermore, intratrabecular heterogeneity of the material properties has been shown by experimental studies. We proposed an inverse μFE algorithm that iteratively changes the tissue level Young’s moduli such that the μFE simulation matches the experimental strain measurements. The algorithm is setup as a feedback loop where the modulus is iteratively adapted until the simulated strain matches the experimental strain. The experimental strain of human trabecular bone specimens was calculated from time-lapsed images that were gained by combining mechanical testing and synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography (SRμCT). The inverse μFE algorithm was able to iterate the heterogeneous distribution of moduli such that the resulting μFE simulations matched artificially generated and experimentally measured strains.

The paper deals with investigation on directional variations of mechanical response in 3D printed models of human trabecular bone. Sample of trabecular bone tissue was resected from human donor and 3D model was obtained by X-ray computed tomography. Then a series of cubical samples was prepared by additive manufacturing technique and tested by uniaxial compression loading mode. Mechanical response was compared in nine different combinations of direction of 3D printing and loading direction. The results show neglectible influence on the deformation response in elastic region (stiffness) and significant changes of the behaviour in plastic region (stress and strain at yield point, strain at full collapse).
