Shear properties of bone have been inferred from torsion tests. [] Key Method We measured the shear properties of human cortical bone in both longitudinal and transverse directions using pure shear tests. Shearing applied transverse to the bone long axis caused fracture along a 45 degrees plane that coincided with maximum tension. This fracture pattern is similar to spiral fractures caused by torsion. Shear strength along the bone axis was 51.6 MPa or about 35% less than that determined using torsion tests…

Strain patterns during tensile, compressive, and shear fatigue of human cortical bone and implications for bone biomechanics.

The overall hypothesis of this investigation is that there is a common underlying factor in the damage-related behavior of bone, which may allow us to link together the various aspects of the damage relatedbehavior of bone.

Fatigue strength of human cortical bone: age, physical, and material heterogeneity effects.

The present results indicate that, perhaps, heterogeneity not only influences the initiation of microcracks, but also their eventual growth and coalescence into larger cracks, which are detrimental for the integrity of the material.

The changing shape of the third metacarpal bone during maturation may be consistent with the lower strains recorded during high speed exercise in theo lder animals, which may allow for the accumulation of additional strain cycles in older animals.
