5807 Structure And Properties Of Calcified Tissues (2)

An introduction to the development of calcified tissues as hierarchical structural/material systems. Starting at the cellular level, bone modeling, remodeling and mechanisms of mineralization will be introduced to be followed by analyzing bone's structural hierarchy and its effects on anisotropic material properties. Fracture mechanisms, viscoelastic and composite properties also will be studied. Expermental techniques measuring various material properties of these tissues will be introduced and/or demonstrated where appropriate. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
