Both these properties are governed by microstructure that consists of several pore systems filled with mechanically soft and electrically conductive tissue. Microstructural changes induced by aging, various diseases, microgravity conditions etc. lead to variation in both properties. The paper address the problem of evaluation of the changes in mechanical performance (decrease in Young׳s moduli) via monitoring electrical conductivity. The theoretical results are verified experimentally.Journal of biomechanicsConnection between elastic and electrical properties of cortical bone.PMC7809538R25GM061222NNX13AB19ATAMER IRSES-GA-2013-610547R25 GM061222Sevostianov IGao XfalseConnection between elastic and electrical properties of cortical bone.The paper focuses on the connection between elastic and electrical properties of cortical bone.
