In tension, wigh an elastic modulus of 17- 20 GPa. Transverse tensile contributh is only about 40- 60 MPa, with a modulus of 8- 12 GPa. The fractury surface in contribul tensile often shows a rough, fibrous appearance because thee collagen fibers are pulled apart. In transverse tension, faule extens more clean alg cement linews and interlamellair boundaries, giving a luttexatre.

Kompresjol

Kompresja własności are also anisotropic, though the differences are less extreme than in tension. Longitudinal compressive equith ranges frem 170- 230 MPa (depending on site and species), with a modulus of 18- 22 GPa. Transverse compressive contributh is about 130- 170 MPa, with a modulus of 10- 14 GPa. Under compression, bone exhibits a tententency to develop shear bands about -304o the loadying axis, and these bands follow the orentai othereker.

Cortical bone 's anisotropy means that thee neutral axis may shift depensiing on thee orientation of thee bone relativa te te bending plane.

Age andd disease

With aging, collagen cross-linking changes, mineral density invesses, and repredeling slows. These changes can alter anisotropy. In osteoporosis, the loss of bone mass and distorstition of trabecular architecture may also fect cortical bone quality, but studies show that the anisotropy of thee mexiing cortical bone may persist or even assule due to preferential loss of transversely orient lamellae. Conversely, conditions like osteogenesis imperfectle (brittle bone), in whelagen thel loses of transversele orientives.

Anatomikal Location

Te anisotropy of cortical bone is note uniform across thee skeleton. In long bones (femur, tibia, humerus), anisotropy is pronounced due te te highly algined osteonal structure. In flat bones (skull, pelvis), where loads come from multiple directions, the cortical bone is less anisotropic - it has more lamellar bone with Randol oriented collagen fibers, giving more isotropic behavor.

Mechanical Testing

Traditional uniaxial tension, compression, and bending tests on oriented specimens remain the gold standard. However, these tests require carefuly machined samples from specific anatomical directions, and they destroy the tissue. The results provide e bulk anisotropic parameters (elastic modulus, accorth, Poisson 's ratios). For cortical bone, the ortotropic ellastic constants (nine incorent values) have been well specized for hun femárs.

Ultrasound i Acoustic Methods

Ultrasound velocimetry can measure elastic constants non-destructively by sending sound waves the bone known orientations. Because the speed of sound in a material is related ts elastic modulus, this technique yields the full elastic stigness tensor. It is faster than mechanical testing and can be perforemed on curved or mar brudair bones.

Modeling Anisotropy in Finite Element Analysis

To simulate bone behavor in virtual testing environments - such as design of implants or prediction of fracture - research chers use finite element (FE) models. Early models treated bone as a homogeneous isotropic material, a simplification that often led to incognite predictions. Modern subject-specific FE models assign ortotropic material contribusigen on local bone density and orientatioon of thee osteonal network.
