Abstract
In this study, the fracture behavior of ribosylated bovine cortical bone is investigated under loading conditions simulating a fall event. Single edge notched specimens, separated into a control group (n = 11) and a ribosylated group (n = 8), were extracted from the mid-diaphysis of a single bovine femur harvested from a mature cow. A seven-day ribosylation process results in the accumulation of Advanced-Glycation End Products (AGEs) cross-links and AGE adducts. Specimens were subjected to symmetric three point bending (opening mode) and an impact velocity of 1.6 m/s using a drop tower. Near-crack displacement fields up to fracture initiation are determined from high-speed images post-processed using digital image correlation. A constrained over-deterministic least squares regression and orthotropic material linear elastic fracture mechanics theory are used to extract the in-plane critical stress intensity factors at fracture initiation (i.e., fracture initiation toughness values). Statistically significant differences were not observed when comparing the in-plane fracture initiation toughness values () or energy release rate () between the control and seven-day ribosylated groups. The intrinsic variability of bone may require high sample numbers in order to achieve an adequately powered experiment when assessing dynamic fracture behavior. While there are no detectable differences due to the ribosylation treatment investigated, this is likely due to the limited sample sizes utilized.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials is concerned with the mechanical deformation, damage and failure under applied forces, of biological material (at the tissue, cellular and molecular levels) and of biomaterials, i.e. those materials which are designed to mimic or replace biological materials.
The primary focus of the journal is the synthesis of materials science, biology, and medical and dental science. Reports of fundamental scientific investigations are welcome, as are articles concerned with the practical application of materials in medical devices. Both experimental and theoretical work is of interest; theoretical papers will normally include comparison of predictions with experimental data, though we recognize that this may not always be appropriate. The journal also publishes technical notes concerned with emerging experimental or theoretical techniques, letters to the editor and, by invitation, review articles and papers describing existing techniques for the benefit of an interdisciplinary readership.
