Synopsis

Fracture and Fatigue Characterisation of Cortical Bone Tissue is a key guide to bone fracture and fatigue, focusing on quasi-static and fatigue-fracture characterisation of cortical bone tissue. Discussing the fundamental aspects of fracture mechanics and fatigue, which are applicable to many orthotropic materials, this book examines novel, cutting-edge approaches to analyse and model bone fracture and fatigue.

As the population ages across the globe, bone fracture and fatigue has become a fundamental part of mechanical and biomedical engineering research. Beginning with a thorough description of fracture mechanics and fatigue, the book describes non-linear fracture mechanics under quasi-static and fatigue analyses. It goes on to present a cohesive zone modelling method which is appropriate for mode I, mode II and mixed-mode I+II loading. Presenting the latest research, this book describes cutting-edge fracture tests, new methods for data reduction purposes and numerical models based on cohesive zone modelling. This book is key to aiding both students and professionals in applying fundamental theories and methods to cortical bone tissue.

The book will be of interest to students and professionals working in mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, including work on quasi-static fracture, fracture under fatigue loading, artificial bones and fracture mechanisms.

À propos de l'auteur

Marcelo F. S. F. de Moura is Full Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal. His research interests are focused on mechanical and fracture behaviour of anisotropic materials (composites, wood and bone) and adhesive bonding. Numerical simulation of fracture and fatigue using cohesive zone modelling is a prominent research topic. He is author/co-author of 199 research papers in international scientific journals (h-index=46 in Scopus considering independent citations) and 3 books; he has participated in 33 research projects, being the leader of 10 of them, and has supervised 15 PhD students (4 ongoing).

Nuno Dourado is Associate Professor at the Mechanical Department of the School of Engineering of University of Minho in Guimarães, Portugal. His research interests are focused on the fracture characterization of quasi-brittle materials (wood, concrete and bone tissue) and cohesive zone modelling of these materials behaviour. The characterization of viscoelastic response of biological materials is a recent topic of research. He has authored/co-authored 85 research papers (h-index=20 in Scopus considering independent citations) and 1 book, has participated in 11 scientific projects, being leader of 2 of them,, and has supervised/co-supervised 49 MSc thesis and 7 PhD students (3 ongoing).
