Principal stiffness orientation and degree of anisotropy of human osteons based on nanoindentation in three distinct planes

Haversian systems or ‘osteons’ are cylindrical structures, formed by bone lamellae, that make up the major part of human cortical bone. Despite their discovery centuries ago in 1691 by Clopton Havers, their mechanical properties are still poorly understood. The objective of this study is a detailed...
