Residual mechanical properties of human cortical bone following fatigue loading (original) (raw)

1996

Abstract

RESULTS Initial moduli of all three specimen groups were alike (Table 1, p= 0.768). Stress-strain curves (fig. 1) from specimens loaded to 20% strain increase were qualitatively similar to non-fatigued specimens from comparable regions, albeit with somewhat reduced material properties. By contrast, 40% strain increase specimens had a radically different stress-strain relationship, characterized by an elastic region that deviates early from linearity, poorly-defined yield and a truncated post-yield region.
