Bone collagen network integrity and transverse fracture toughness of human cortical bone
Willett, Thomas L.; Dapaah, Daniel Y.; Uppuganti, Sasidhar; Granke, Mathilde; Nyman, Jeffry S. (Elsevier, 2019-03-01)Greater understanding of the determinants of skeletal fragility is highly sought due to the great burden that bone affecting diseases and fractures have on economies, societies and health care systems. Being a complex, ... -
An experimentally validated continuum damage mechanics model of the micro-damage process zone during cortical bone fracture
Dapaah, Daniel (University of Waterloo, 2018-12-19)Bone fractures remain a significant concern worldwide especially with aging and bone damaging diseases. These fractures not only lead to a high rate of morbidity and mortality but also place a considerable burden on the ... -
Modelling the micro-damage process zone during cortical bone fracture
Dapaah, Daniel; Badaoui, Raphael; Bahmani, Aram; Montesano, John; Willett, Thomas (Elsevier, 2020-02-01)Cortical bone employs intrinsic toughening mechanisms to delay crack growth initiation and propagation hence increasing its fracture toughness. Computational models of the bone fracture process though do not explicitly ...
