Midterm #2 Flashcards
what is tissue mechanics
mechanics of materials of human connective tissue
human connective tissue
bones
ligaments
cartilage
tendons
load
an externally applied force
what does the respond of an object to a load depend on
magnitude location direction duration frequency variability rate
types of load
axial (tension, compression) bending shear torsion combined loading
axial force - compression
push or squash molecules of a material otgether
deformation by shortening
what is compression/tension response proportional to
body´s cross sectional area
axial force - tension
pull apart object´s molecules
deformation by stretchng or elongating
shear
transverse force
force that causes one part of body to move parallel past another part
what can shear loading lead to
on skin - blisters
on tibia and femur - tension in ligaments
torsion
rotational load
twisting around axis
depends on distribution of material around axis
bending
compression on one side
tension on the other side
loading applied perpendicular to longitudinal axis
what determines the effects of bending on the body
cross sectional area
distribution of material
length of the body
what causes injury
load > tissue tolerance
load > tissue strength
biological material quantitiy
size -> amount of material distribution
bilogical material quality
ingredients of the tissue
factors affecting tissue strength
material
amount of tissue
distribution of tissue
what is distribution of tissue
how tissue is soread
area of moment of inertia - a measure of a body´s resistance to bending
tissue tolerance
relationship between load imposed (external force) and the amount of deformation (internal reaction) of material
load deformarion
effects of load on different tissue sizes and materials
chnage of shape of tissue
stress strain
stress = load/size
effects of stress on material and tissue
change in length normalized to original length
stress
property of object under pressure
force over small area will cause larger stress
e.g. tennis shoes vs. spike heels
unit of stress
N/mm(squared)
relation of load/stress on vertebrae
load: increases from cervical -> lumbar
stress: decreases from cervical -> lumbar
descriptors of strength
ultimate strength yield point stiffness deformation energy failure point ductility brittleness
different types of injury
acute load injury
repretitive load injury
prolonged load injury
what factors contribute to injury
age gender genetics physical condition fatigue environment ...
stiffness
relates load and deformation
elastic region
no permanent change in tissue
recovers all energy
used to deform tissue
plastic region
energy used to permanently change the shape of the tissue
yield strength
load/stress at which plastic deformation begins
ultimate strength
max load/stress
fracture strength
load/stress at point of fracture
ductility
amount of strain material can undergo before fatigue
brittleness
minimal (no plastic) deformation of tissue
toughness/energy under the curve
work required to produce deformation
types of bones
cortical bone (solid) trabecular bone (has holes)
bone mass over time
males have greater peak bone mass
males have greater rate of gain for BMC
females have decrease in bone mass around menopause age 45-60
bone cells
osteoblasts - bone formation
osteoclasts - take away of old damaged bone
osteocytes - mature osteoblasts during formation
steps of bone formation
activation
resorption
reversal
formation
exercise for bone strengthening
weight bearing activities
short duration
mderate to intense magnitude
long rest periods
