چکیده

Both the load partitioning between hydroxyapatite (HAP) and collagen during compressive creep deformation of bone and the HAP residual strain in unloaded bone have been shown in previous synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies to be affected by the X-ray irradiation dose. Here, through detailed analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns of bovine bone, the effect of X-ray dose on (i) the rate of HAP elastic strain accumulation/shedding under creep conditions and (ii) the HAP lattice spacing and average root mean square (RMS) strain under load-free conditions are examined. These strain measurements exhibit three stages in response to increasing X-ray dose. Up to ∼75 kGy (stage I) no effect of dose is observed, indicating a threshold behavior. Between ∼75 and ∼300 kGy (stage II) in unloaded bone the HAP d-spacing increases and the RMS strain decreases with dose, indicating strain relaxation of HAP. Furthermore, under constant compressive load creep conditions, the rate of compressive elastic strain accumulation in HAP decreases with increasing dose until, at ∼115 kGy, it changes sign, indicating that the HAP phase is shedding load during creep deformation. These stage II behaviors are consistent with HAP-collagen interfacial damage, which allows the HAP elastic strain to relax within both the loaded and unloaded samples. Finally, for doses in excess of ∼300 kGy (stage III, measured up to 7771 kGy) the HAP lattice spacing and RMS strain for load-free samples and the rate of HAP elastic strain shedding for crept samples remain independent of dose, suggesting a saturation of damage and/or stiffening of the collagen matrix due to intermolecular cross-linking.

Effect of stress and temperature on the micromechanics of creep in highly irradiated bone and dentin.

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction is used to study in situ the evolution of phase strains during compressive creep deformation in bovine bone and dentin for a range of compressive stresses and irradiation rates, at ambient and body temperatures. In all cases, compressive strains in the collagen phase increase with increasing creep time (and concomitant irradiation), reflecting macroscopic deformati...

Effect of high-energy X-ray irradiation on creep mechanisms in bone and dentin.

Under long-term loading creep conditions, mineralized biological tissues like bone are expected to behave in a similar manner to synthetic composites where the creeping matrix sheds load to the elastic reinforcement as creep deformation progresses. To study this mechanism in biological composites, creep experiments were performed at 37 °C on bovine compact bone and dentin. Static compressive st...

Effect of high-energy X-ray doses on bone elastic properties and residual strains.

Bone X-ray irradiation occurs during medical treatments, sterilization of allografts, space travel and in vitro studies. High doses are known to affect the post-yield properties of bone, but their effect on the bone elastic properties is unclear. The effect of such doses on the mineral-organic interface has also not been adequately addressed. Here, the evolution of elastic properties and residu...

Evolution of load transfer between hydroxyapatite and collagen during creep deformation of bone.

While the matrix/reinforcement load-transfer occurring at the micro- and nanoscale in nonbiological composites subjected to creep deformation is well understood, this topic has been little studied in biological composites such as bone. Here, for the first time in bone, the mechanisms of time-dependent load transfer occurring at the nanoscale between the collagen phase and the hydroxyapatite (HA...

A Nonlinear Creep-damage Constitutive Model of Mudstone Based on the Fractional Calculus Theory

During the flood development in an oil field, the creep characteristic of mudstone is one of the important factors causing casing damage. In this study, based on the theory of fractional order differential and taking into account the creep damage evolution rules, a fractional nonlinear creep-damage model is proposed to reflect the instantaneous deformation in loading processes and the accelerat...
