load – the sum of all the external forces and moments acting on the body or system
deformation – local changes of shape within a body
Load-deformation relationship
Changes in shape (deformation) experienced by a tissue or structure when it is subjected to various loads
Extent of deformation dependent on:
Size and shape (geometry) Material
Structure Environmental factors (temperature, humidity) Nutrition
Load application Magnitude, direction, and duration of applied force Point of application (location) Rate of force application Frequency of load application Variability of magnitude of force

Structural vs. Material Properties
Structural Properties Load-deformation
relationships of like tissues
Material Properties Stress-strain
relationships of different tissues
Terminology – Stress ()
= F/A (N/m2 or Pa)
normalized load force applied per unit
area, where area is measured in the plane that is perpendicular to force vector (CSA)
Terminology – Strain ()
= dimension/original dimension
normalized deformation
change in shape of a tissue relative to its initial shape
How are Stress () and Strain () related?
“Stress is what is done to an object, strain is how the object responds”.
Stress and Strain are proportional to each other.
Modulus of elasticity = stress/strain

Mechanical Properties of Selected Biomaterials
Viscoelastic Properties :Rate Dependency of Cortical Bone

•With loading rate:
brittleness Energy storage 2X (
toughness) Rupture strength 3X Rupture strain 100% Stiffness 2X
Viscoelastic Properties :Rate Dependency of Cortical Bone
Fig 2-34, Nordin & Frankel, (2001)
•With loading rate:
More energy to be absorbed, so fx pattern changes & amt of soft tissue damage
Effect of Structure
Larger CSA distributes force over larger area, stress
Tubular structure (vs. solid) More evenly distributes bending & torsional stresses
because the structural material is distributed away from the central axis
bending stiffness without adding large amounts of bone mass
Narrower middle section (long bones) bending stresses & minimizes chance of fracture

Applications for Bone Injury
Crack propagation occurs more easily in the transverse than in the longitudinal direction
Bending For adults, failure begins on tension side, since
tension strength < compression strength For youth, failure begins on compression side,
since immature bone more ductile Torsion
Failure begins in shear, then tension direction

Summary
Mechanical properties of biological materials vary across tissues and structures due to material and geometry differences.
Understanding how age, physical activity, nutrition, and disease alter mechanical properties enables us to design appropriate interventions and rehabilitations.
Understanding these mechanical properties allows us to design appropriate prosthetic devices to for joint replacement and repair.
