Lesson 10: tissue level Flashcards
the mechanics of materials of human connective tissue: bones, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, muscle
tissue mechanics
an externally applied force
Load
how an object responds to a load is determined by (7)
magnitude, location, direction, duration, frequency, variability, rate
types of axial loading
compression and tension
a load that squeezes the parts of a body together
compression
a load that pulls the parts of a body apart
tension
a load applied perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a body causing it to curve (combination of tension on long side, and compression on the shorter side.)
bending
what 3 factors determine the effect of bending of a body
- cross sectional area
- distribution of the material around the neutral axis
- length of the body
a measure of a body’s resistance to bending
area moment of inertia
a load that causes one part of a body to move PARALLEL past another part
Shear loading
forces are directed towards each other like in compression, just not along the same line
shear loading
a type of loading that exist when there is a twist around a neutral axis
torsion
tells you how the material that makes up the body responds to loading
- internal responses of a body to a load
(stress, strain, elastic modulus, strain energy density)
material properties
tells you how a body as a whole responds to a load ( strength, deformation, stiffness, toughness)
mechanical properties
the amount of loading an object can withstand before failure
strength
a change in dimensions of a body
deformation
axial load deformation is determined as
change in length
a characterization of an object that can undergo very small deformations
brittle
a characterization of an object that can under go veery large deformations
ductile
types of deformaion
elastic and plastic
a deformation in which the object returns to its original dimensions
elastic
a deformation in which the object does not return to its original dimensions after the deformation
plastic
the amount of deformation that marks the transition from elastic to plastic deformations
- deformation beyond this point results in permanent deformation
yield point
the ration of change in load to the change in deformation (load/deformation)
stiffness
the ratio of change in deformation to change in load (deformation/load)
compliance
the amount of energy that can be absorbed by a body before failure
toughness
the amount of energy absorbed by the body as a result of deformation
strain energy
the way a force is distributed within a body
stress
the change in dimension normalized to the original dimension
strain
the ratio of stress to strain
elastic modulus (aka Young’s modulus)
