Mechanistic fracture criteria for the failure of human cortical bone

Journal Article · · Nature Materials
OSTI ID:823733

A mechanistic understanding of fracture in human bone is critical to predicting fracture risk associated with age and disease. Despite extensive work, a mechanistic framework for describing how the underlying microstructure affects the failure mode in bone is lacking.
