Lecture 20 Flashcards
What are the different types of loading
Axial
Bending
Shear
What comes under Axial
Compression
Tension
What comes under Bending
3 point bending
4 point bending
What comes under Shear
Direct
Torsion
What are the mechanical properties of how the body as a whole responds to loading
Strength
Deformation
Stiffness
Toughness
Strength within loading is
The largest load a body can withstand before failure
Deformation within loading is
A change in dimension
Loads and deformations are…
How
Related
A load causes a deformation
Stiffness within loading is
Also known as
Resistance to displacement or deformation
‘Rigidity’ of an object tissue or material
Compliance within loading is
Complement to stiffness
‘Pliability’ of an object tissue or materal
What is the equation for stiffness (k)
Change in load / change in deformation
What is the equation for compliance
Change in deformation / change in load
What is the simple equation for stiffness (k)
1 / compliance
When using a load displacement graph, how do you find the stiffness
This is expressed in what equation
Slope of graph
Change in load(force) / change in displacement(deformation)
Where is compression seen to occur
Shoe material
Skin
Fat pad
Cartilage
