    Study Notes

    Tissue Mechanics

    • Tissue responds to loading, and it fails when an imposed load exceeds its tolerance (load-carrying ability)
    • Factors affecting tissue response to loading:
      • Extensibility of various tissues
      • Effect of stiffness on injury
      • Influence of tissue structure on function
      • Advantage of composite tissue
    • Clinical relevance of mechanical properties of biological tissues

    Material Properties

    • Brittleness: absence of any plastic deformation prior to failure
    • Resilience: measure of energy absorbed by a material and returned when load is removed
    • Toughness: property of a material enabling it to endure high-impact or shock loads
    • Uniqueness of biological materials:
      • Anisotropic
      • Viscoelastic
      • Time-dependent behavior
      • Loading rate-dependent behavior
      • Organic
      • Self-repair
      • Adaptation to changes in mechanical demand

    Viscoelasticity

    • Pure elastic material: not viscoelastic, all energy returned
    • Hysteresis: area representing energy lost in viscoelastic materials

    Bending

    • Bending occurs when a moment is applied to an object, producing compression on one side and tension on the other
    • Factors affecting bending:
      • Magnitude of the bending moment
      • Shape and mechanical properties of the object
    • Types of bending:
      • Three-point bending: failure at middle, e.g., ski boot fracture
      • Four-point bending: failure at the weakest point between two inside forces
      • Cantilever bending: compressive force acting off-center from long axis

    Material Failure

    • Material fatigue: repeated loads above a certain threshold
    • Cumulative effect: continued loading failure
    • Initial cycles effect: shift in mechanical response
    • Material failure types:
      • Elastic deformation: material completely recovers from strain
      • Plastic deformation: material shows permanent deformation following strain
      • Brittle material: continues to deform elastically until breaks
      • Malleable material: deforms plastically before breaking
    • Stress at which a material's deformation changes from elastic to plastic is the yield stress or elastic limit
