摘要：

The modulus of elasticity (E) of bone increases very rapidly with increase in mineral content, and in this is atypical of most composite materials. It is proposed that this apparent anomaly is caused by the end-to-end fusion of apatite crystals as the matrix becomes saturated with mineral. There is electron microscopic evidence that this occurs. Calculations using a fairly simple model show that this mechanism could be effective in life. © 1969.
