Study Notes

Types of Loads and Stresses

  • Compressive load results in compression or squeezing
  • Tensile load results in stretching
  • Shear load results in sliding
  • Torsional load results in twisting
  • Bending load results in a combination of compressive, tensile, and shear stresses

Effects of Loads on Bones and Muscles

  • Compressive load causes compressive stress
  • Muscles and origins and insertions of the muscles (on the bone) experience compressive stress
  • Shear load causes shear stress
  • Bones are primarily designed to resist compressive stress from axial loading

Bending Loads

  • Bending load results in compressive stress on the inner side of the bend
  • Bending load results in tensile stress on the outer side of the bend
  • Bending load results in shear stress along the neutral axis
  • 3-point bending: Bending caused by a combination of three forces (e.g., "dashboard injury")

Ligaments and Tendons

  • Ligaments and tendons are subjected to tensile load pattern
  • Ligaments and tendons experience tensile stress

Other Types of Loads and Stresses

  • Torsional load on the pitcher's humerus causes spiral fracture
  • Spiral fracture caused by torsional load on the femur
