funal bioe Flashcards
bone phases
cortical and trabecular
corticular
is the dense outer shell, responsible for carrying the majority of
the mechanical load
trabecular
(or cancellous) is a much more porous mesh within the bone
tendons
connect muscle to bone
less elastin
viscoelastic
higher loading than ligamnets
ligaments
connect bone to bone
more elastic with more elastin
what type of material are ligaments and tendons
they are passive, cannont actively generate tension or force
ligaments and tendons composition
collagen and elastin
type of behavior for ligaements and tendons
non-linear
stress-strain of ligaments and tendons
elastin on first curve then collagen at the end (stiffness is high
difference b/w ligaments and tendons
tendons: need stiffness to tensmit muscle force
ligaments: stabilize joints
why non linear for tendons and ligaments
crimpled nature of the collagen fibrils,
transition from crimped to tensed casues a change in linearity
three regions of tendon
1.nonlinear toe
2. quasi linear region
3. failure region
viscoelasticity
measure of resistance to flow
dashpot
energy dissipated
sprng
energy recovered
creep
constant stress; gradually elongates
stress relaxation
constant strain; gradually recovers
