Investigation of bone mechanical properties is of importance for bone pathology researches, development of biomaterials and prosthesis. Due to the bone complex multi-scale structure, assessment of bone microstructure is an important step of bone mechanical behaviour understanding. In this study, we performed dynamic nanoindentation tests in order to investigate visco-plastic and visco-elastic properties of bone interstitial lamellae.
