What are the five types of load bearing tissues?
Bone Ligaments Tendons Cartilage Muscles
These load bearing tissues adapt _____ and _____ to their loading environment
Positively, Negatively
What is the definition of a load?
Externally applied forces and torques
There are six different mechanical loading modes, name them
- Tension
- Compression
- Shear
- Torsion
- Bending
- Combined
What is deformation?
When loaded, musculoskeletal tissues change shape
The slope of a load deformation curve represents what?
Stiffness
What is the formula for slope in a deformation curve?
K=change in load/ change in deformation
What is compliance?
The inverse of stiffness (1/K)
As an increased slope, stiffness _______
Increases
True or false, stress and strain are a measure.
False, they are converted and normalized.
What is mechanical stress?
When muscles develop internal resistance to loading.
What is the formula for mechanical stress?
(Sigma)σ=Force/Area
What is the difference between stress and pressure?
Stress is internal measure of force/cross sectional area
Pressure is external measure of force/surface area
Stress is a ________ load
Normalized
What does normalization mean?
Normalization is a way of allowing comparison of materials. You divide load by cross sections area.
