5. Black J: Electrical Stimulation: Its Role in Growth, Repair and
Remodeling in the Musculoskeletal System . Praeger Publishers, New York,
1987.
Covers a variety of subjects, including results of in vitro , animal, and
clinical studies of electrical stimulation of soft and hard tissue.
6. Burstein AH, Reilly DT, Martens M: Aging of bone tissue:
Mechanical properties. J Bone Joint Surg 58A:82-86, 1976.
A study of the effects of donor age on bone mechanical properties.
7. Carter DR, Hayes WC: The compressive behavior of bone as a two-
phase porous structure. J Bone Joint Surg 59A:954-962, 1977.
An often cited paper that, for the first time, united the mechanical
behavior of cortical and cancellous bone with a single analytical approach.
8. Cowin SC: Bone Mechanics Handbook , 2nd ed. CRC Press, Boca
Raton, FL, 2001.
Review of many aspects of cortical and cancellous bone, including their
mechanical and architectural properties (see Chapters 10 and 33).
9. Ding M: Microarchitectural adaptions in aging and osteoarthrotic sub-
chondral bone tissues. Acta Orthopaedica , Suppl 340(81), 2010.
Discusses the effects of aging and osteoarthritis on the mechanical
properties and architecture of bone.
10. Frank C, Amiel D, Woo SL-Y, Akeson W: Normal ligament
properties and ligament healing. Clin Orthop Rel Res 196:15-25, 1985.
Not strictly about tissue mechanics, this relates physiology, composi-
tion, structure, and mechanical properties of ligaments with special refer-
ence to changes produced by injury and subsequent healing.
11. Freeman MAR (ed): Adult Articular Cartilage , 2nd ed. Pitman
Medical, Bath, UK, 1979.
The standard work on articular cartilage. Chapters 5 and 6 deal with
mechanical behavior.
12. Frich LH, Jensen NC, Odgaard A, Pedersen CM, Sojbjerg

J Shoulder and Elbow Surgery 6:97-104, 1997.
Provides materials properties for the shoulder joint.
13. Gibson U: The mechanical behavior of cancellous bone. J Biomech
18:317-328, 1985.
A historical discussion of mechanics of cancellous bone and the role
of porosity in the mechanical behavior of cortical bone. Quite accessible
discussion in terms of structural types; includes a review of Carter's and
Hayes' (1977) results on cortical bone.
14. Gozna ER, Harrington IJ (ed): Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal
Injury . Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, 1982.

connective tissue. CRC Crit Rev Biomed Eng 9(2):133-199, 1983.
An exposition of the inter-relationships of structural features and com-
position on one hand and mechanical and electrical behavior of soft tissues
on the other hand. Extensive bibliography.
16. Johnson TP, Socrate S, Boyce MC: A viscoelastic, viscoplastic
model of cortical bone valid at low and high strain rates. Acta Biomater
6(10):4073-4080, 2010.
An extremely useful summary and critique of modeling efforts to
describe bone as a viscoelastic material.
