Biomechanics of Tendon Bone Cartilage and Muscle Flashcards
torque =?
Force x distance
Stress =?
Force/ area
What is this:
a condition resulting from increased pressure within a confined body space, esp. of the leg or forearm.
compartment syndrome
What are the typical loading schemes on a bone?
bending, torsion, compression
How do you test a tendon/ligaments ability to handle a load?
applying tension and using a strain/stress curve
What happens if you stretch something to the point of the plastic region?
you have deformation
What is the amount of deformation?
What is the amount of loading?
strain
stress
What is the constant slope on the stress/strain curve?
elastic region
What happens after you hit the yield point/ yield stress point?
you get deformation
Yield stress indicates (blank) changes to the specimen
structural
What am I talking about:
All this is basically saying is you can stretch something to a certain point, after that point it will change from its previous abilities and work differently from this point on. I.e be too bendy or less elasticy
viscoelasticity
What is this:
from yield point to ultimate tensile stress, with structural irreversible changes in specimen
plastic region
What is this:
mechanical properties independent of direction of stress (such as a metal sphere)
isotropy
What is this:
mechanical properties different in all directions of loading
anisotropy
What is this:
mechanical properties symmetric within two planes (long bone, axial/transverse loading)
orthotropy
In successive cycles of loading and unloading, what happens to hysteresis?
Why?
it dissipates causes smaller differences between loading and unloading curves (i.e cyclic loading leads to less dissapated energy)
Due to internal friction
How do we keep cyclic loading from causing a problem with orthopedics?
by using pretensioning or cycling a graft to set tension
What is the failing point->
ultimate stress
If you have a ductile material what will your strain/stress curve look like?
long slope between yield point and ultimate stress
If you have a brittle material what will your stain/stress curve look like?
yield point and ultimate stress would be very close together
What is fatigue strength?
looks at how your construct will survive over time
If you continually apply cycles (i.e keep bending a paper clip) eventual it will fail. What is this?
fatigue strength and cycles
If you have a stress strain curve, what is the area under the curve of yield point and ultimate stress?
absorbed energy before break
strain=?
deformation/length
what kind of fracture does torsion give you?
spiral fracture
What kind of fracture does compression give you?
butterfly fracture
What is youngs modulus?
ratio of stress over strain
What is hooke’s law?
force needed to compress/extend spring by some distance is proportional to that distance. That is: F=kX ,where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring, its stiffness.
what part of the stress/strain curve represents youngs modulus?
elastic region
What part of the femur is this: Trabecular bone force transmission Hematopoiesis Thin cortices
proximal/distal
What part of the femur is this:
Lamellar/cortical bone
Axial loading
bending
diaphyseal
(blank) can absorb significant energy with minimal mass.
trabecular bone
(blank) has a very high yield point (compared to trabecular bone), when this bone fails (cuz its more brittle) it fails catastrophically and thats it.
cortical bone (diaphysis)
As you continue to compress trabecular bone, the more you compress it, the more it (blank). Why does this happen?
resists compression. Because as its getting compressed it gets mroe dense which allows it to resist
Anisotropy describes what kind of bone?
cortical bone (meaning mechanical properties dependent on direction of loading)
Bone is strongest in (blank), weakest in (blank)
compression
tension
Bone resists loading (blank) rather than in a transverse mode.
axially (longitudinal)
So whats the strongest way a bone can resist force?
axially (longitudinal) and compressed
How is bone the weakest?
with hoop stress
(blank) are sensitive to strain rate and duration of applied load
mechanical properties
Bone is ductile with (blank) and brittle with (blank)
slow loading (walking up stairs) rapid loading (MVA)
What is creep?
it is applying a force for enough time that you get permanent deformation
(think like braces, you have them for a while and take them out and your teeth are straight)
What is cold flow?
the distortion of a solid under sustained pressure esp. with an accompanying inability to return to its original dimensions when the pressure is removed
What is stress relaxation?
When trying to creep you slowly need to apply less force to maintain the same amount of deformation
What is this:
Force necessary to maintain deformation decreases over time.
stress relaxation
What is this:
energy absorbed before ultimate failure
toughness
What is this:
ultimate strain substantially larger than yield strain
ductility
