Mechanical Characterization of Subrupture Fatigue Damage in Tendons
INTRODUCTION Despite the high prevalence of tendon injuries, the etiology of tendon rupture is poorly understood. Degeneration due to cumulative microtrauma resulting from overuse has been widely discussed as a major contributor to tendon failure. However, existing biomechanical models of fatigue have largely focused on the relationship between the applied stress and the number of cycles to fai...
متن کاملFatigue Damage
Prevention of unexpected failures is a fundamental design objective in any engineering structure or system subjected to fatigue. Nevertheless, the complexity of modern structures and the interactivity among engineering systems, coupled with human fallibility, means that failure and its consequences can only be avoided to a statistical probability. Hence, occasional catastrophic failures will oc...
متن کاملEvaluating changes in tendon crimp with fatigue loading as an ex vivo structural assessment of tendon damage.
The complex structure of tendons relates to their mechanical properties. Previous research has associated the waviness of collagen fibers (crimp) during quasi-static tensile loading to tensile mechanical properties, but less is known about the role of fatigue loading on crimp properties. In this study (IACUC approved), mouse patellar tendons were fatigue loaded while an integrated plane polaris...
متن کاملTendon fatigue in response to mechanical loading.
Tendinopathies are commonly attributable to accumulation of sub-rupture fatigue damage from repetitive use. Data is limited to late stage disease from patients undergoing surgery, motivating development of animal models, such as ones utilizing treadmill running or repetitive reaching, to investigate the progression of tendinopathies. We developed an in vivo model using the rat patellar tendon t...
متن کاملFatigue damage in solder joints
Miniaturisation of electronic products is increasingly important for reasons of functionality enhancement and freedom of design. This is realised by integration into silicon and developing miniature packages with high I/O and power dissipation density. Generally this leads to elevated temperatures, not only in the components but also in the solder joints. Elevated temperature cycling leads to f...
