Orientation and size-dependent mechanical modulation within individual secondary osteons in cortical bone tissue

Anisotropy is one of the most peculiar aspects of cortical bone mechanics; however, its anisotropic mechanical behaviour should be treated only with strict relationship to the length scale of investigation. In this study, we focus on quantifying the orientation and size dependence of the spatial mec...
