Fatigue Behavior of Adult Cortical Bone: The Influence of Mean Strain and Strain Range
Open accessAbstract
Uniaxial fatigue tests were conducted of devitalized cortical bone specimens machined from human femora. Specimens were tested at strain ranges from 0.005 to 0.010 under physiologic loading rates. The influence of compressive, zero, and tensile mean strains on fatigue life and on the stress/strain histories during fatigue were examined. Results showed that bone fatigue is a gradual damage process accompanied by a progressive increase in hysteresis and a loss of bone stiffness. The total number of cycles to fatigue failure was influenced only by the total strain range and was not affected by mean strain. Bone was shown to have extremely poor fatigue resistance. Fully reversed cyclic loading to one half of the yield strain caused fatigue fracture in 1000 cycles. Biological implications. The bone regions which experience the highest strain ranges in vivo generally have a compressive mean strain. The results of this study indicate that mechanical fatigue damage accumulates more rapidly in these "compressive" areas than in "tensile" areas of bone.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
