| Title: | Mode II Fracture of Cortical Bone Tissue |
| Issue Date: | 2010 |
| Abstract: | In this work a numerical study has been performed to verify the adequacy of the End Notched Flexure (ENF) test to determine the fracture toughness under mode II loading of cortical bovine bone tissue. In this work a detailed numerical analysis using the finite element method and a cohesive damage model was performed in order to optimize the specimen geometry when applied to bone fracture characterization under mode II loading. A data reduction scheme based on specimen compliance and crack equivalent concept was used to overcome the difficulties inherent to crack monitoring during its growth. It was verified that a judicious selection of the geometry allows a rigorous estimation of toughness in mode II. |
