... the extent of the influence of intracortical porosity on the mechanical properties of bone. Computational fracture mechanics studies conducted to date represent cortical bone as a homogenized structure eliminating the effect of its microstructure on the mechanical properties. However, with the increased use...

... properties of the manatee ribs need to be better understood. Fracture toughness ( K C ) has been shown to be a good index to assess the mechanical performance of bone. Quantitative fractography can be used in concert with fracture mechanics equations to identify fracture initiating defects∕cracks...
