This book was released on 1972 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quantitative model is developed for trabecular bone by approximating the trabecular geometry with a hypothetical network of compact bone. For the region immediately beneath the articular cartilage in the distal end of the femur, finite element analyses were performed with a high speed computer, assuming a physiological static load. The results indicate that bending and buckling of trabeculae are considerable in any elastic deformation of the bone; that fatigue fracture in some fraction of suitably oriented trabeculae is inevitable in normal ambulation; and that the stiffness varies considerably with lateral position across the subchondral plate. The latter depends totally on trabecular arrangement and may play a role in joint function and degeneration. The adjustments necessary to bring the gross stiffness into agreement with experiment imply that the intertrabecular soft tissues are of no consequence to the mechanical properties and that the compact bone of which trabeculae are made is probably not as stiff as cortical bone.

Download or read book Bone Research in Biomechanics written by G. Lowet and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the structure of bone, and its consequences for the mechanical behaviour of the bone structure. The first part of this book focuses on the development of models to predict the adaptation of bone due to changes on the mechanical loading situation (such as provoked by an implant). But far more important than the computer power presently available, the incorporation of knowledge on the biological processes have led to new kinds of models. Next to the development of models itself, the issue of model validation though comparison with clinical data is a main issue addressed in the papers of this symposium. The second part, dealing with the relationship between bone architecture and competence of bone, focuses on the morphology of trabecular bone structure. This work is mainly carried out in the context of research on osteoporosis, and look for the relation between bone structure and fracture risk. The last part is devoted to ultrasound research in bone biomechanics. Several methods have been described for the in vitro and in vivo measurement of ultrasound velocity and attenuation, both on cortical and on trabecular bone. The reader will not only discover the state-of-the-art when reading though this book. This book can give a taste of the fascinating perspectives the research in bone biomechanics still have to offer, even after more than 100 years.

Download or read book Bones written by John D. Currey and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive and accessible overview of what is known about the structure and mechanics of bone, bones, and teeth. In it, John Currey incorporates critical new concepts and findings from the two decades of research since the publication of his highly regarded The Mechanical Adaptations of Bones. Crucially, Currey shows how bone structure and bone's mechanical properties are intimately bound up with each other and how the mechanical properties of the material interact with the structure of whole bones to produce an adapted structure. For bone tissue, the book discusses stiffness, strength, viscoelasticity, fatigue, and fracture mechanics properties. For whole bones, subjects dealt with include buckling, the optimum hollowness of long bones, impact fracture, and properties of cancellous bone. The effects of mineralization on stiffness and toughness and the role of microcracking in the fracture process receive particular attention. As a zoologist, Currey views bone and bones as solutions to the design problems that vertebrates have faced during their evolution and throughout the book considers what bones have been adapted to do. He covers the full range of bones and bony tissues, as well as dentin and enamel, and uses both human and non-human examples. Copiously illustrated, engagingly written, and assuming little in the way of prior knowledge or mathematical background, Bones is both an ideal introduction to the field and also a reference sure to be frequently consulted by practicing researchers.

Download or read book On the Rate dependent Constitutive Response of Cortical and Trabecular Bone written by Timothy Paul Mahal Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) against American and coalition forces in the ongoing Iraqi and Afghani conflicts has caused a dramatic increase in the number of traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases seen in recent years. The skull acts as the first and primary line of defense for the brain. Researching this structure's protective capabilities and shortcomings is therefore critical to 1) understanding how blunt impact loads and blast waves are propagated through the skull and transmitted into the brain, and 2) improving and evaluating future combat protection systems. This doctoral study is aimed at mechanically characterizing and modeling the two major constituents of the skull: cortical and trabecular bone. The mechanical behavior of these two materials over a wide range of strain rates is identified through both a review of the existing literature data and our own experimental investigations. For the behavior of compact bone two separate viscoelastic rate-sensitivity regimes are identified and modeled with a Maxwell-Weichert model containing one linear elastic and two linear viscoelastic branches in parallel. The rate-dependent plasticity of the material is further shown to obey a simple power law relationship and the overall material behavior is captured in a generalized three-dimensional viscoelastic, viscoplastic constitutive model formulation. For validation, the three-dimensional constitutive model is implemented as a subroutine within a commercial nonlinear finite element program. Given the similar composition of both cortical bone and the solid portion of trabecular bone, the compact bone constitutive model is subsequently employed in modeling the trabeculae of cancellous bone within two complementary microstructural frameworks. The first approach utilized is to create three-dimensional solid bone models of trabecular architecture directly from micro computed tomography (CT) scans of cancellous bone biopsy samples. The original samples from which these micro CT scans were obtained are then tested experimentally and the resulting stress-strain curves are found to show excellent agreement with the micromechanical model predictions. Successful simulation of specimen loading was found to be contingent upon extracting the trabecular structure from micro CT data in such a way that matched the relative density of the resulting specimen mesh to the experimentally recorded value. Analysis of both the experimental and simulation results further demonstrates that 1) local distributions in strut relative density are highly influential in the determining the compressive strength of trabecular bone and 2) the formation of macroscopic, multi-strut shear bands is responsible for the initial plateau and post-yield softening exhibited by trabecular bone in uniaxial compression. 3 The second microstructural approach employed is to model the trabecular network with an idealized representative volume element (RVE) and apply periodic boundary conditions. This latter approach allows for rapid investigation of the effects of relative density and strain rate in determining trabecular bone's mechanical properties. Specifically, Young's modulus is found to vary in a nearly quadratic manner with relative density and compressive strength is shown to have a power law relationship to relative density with an exponent of 1.5. In addition, compressive strength is shown to have a power law dependence upon strain rate with an exponent of 0.055. These relationships and the magnitude of the values predicted are all found to closely match the experimental trends and values reported in the literature.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers presented at the Fourth 'Meeting of the European Society of Biomechanics, held in collaboration with the European Society for Biomaterials in late September 1984 in Davos, Switzerland, are published herewith. The main idea of the meeting was to gather together the many disciplines of researchers and clinicians active and interested in promoting biomechanical knowledge in one interdisciplinary society: the European Society of Biomechanics. We feel that the dialog across the disciplines is one of the important goals of the society, a goal which can be furthered by meetings like the one in Davos. A surgeon, whether a general, trauma or orthopaedic surgeon, is normally brought up without relevant exposure to spe cific technical problems. It therefore is not surprising that he speaks a different language with respect to mechanical problems than an engineer. Although a surgeon often has a feeling for what the solution to a particular problem might be, a fruitful inter disciplinary collaboration is made difficult by this scientific language barrier. On the other hand, a physicist, chemist, engi neer and metallurgist, to name a few, would do well with a realistic perception of the possibilities and limitations of surgery and of the relevance of a solution found to the initial question. Similar problems exist in other areas, e. g. in the field of sports biomechanics in the dialogue betweeen coach and researcher. Interdisciplinary misunderstandings have led to quite some unaeces£ary frustration in the past.
