Effect of micro-morphology of cortical bone tissue on fracture toughness and crack propagation

Evaluation of mode I fracture toughness of cortical bone tissue in the RL crack propagation system

In this work the mode I fracture properties of bone tissue were determined for the RL propagation system. With this aim, Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) fracture tests were performed using specimens of cortical bone tissue harvested from bovine femurs with an age of approximately 8 months. In order to overcome the difficulty associated to the monitoring of crack length during propagation in the co...

Fracture Toughness of Wood and Wood Composites during Crack Propagation

The mode I fracture toughness as a function of crack length of medium density fiberboard (MDF), particle board (PB), and Douglas-fir (DF) were all measured using a new energy-based method. PB and MDF are examples of composites that develop fiber bridging during crack propagation, which causes their toughness to increase with crack length. Longitudinal cracks in DF also displayed fiber bridging ...

Effect of micromorphology of cortical bone tissue on crack propagation under dynamic loading

Structural integrity of bone tissue plays an important role in daily activities of humans. However, traumatic incidents such as sports injuries, collisions and falls can cause bone fracture, servere pain and mobility loss. In addition, ageing and degenerative bone diseases such as osteoporosis can increase the risk of fracture [1]. As a composite-like material, a cortical bone tissue is capable...
