Abstract

In Chap. 7, we examined the mechanical properties of bone when it is fractured by a load sufficient to exceed the failure stress of the material. Structures may also fail more gradually. There are two principal ways in which this can happen: creep and fatigue. In both, a stress less than the ultimate stress is applied, and damage from this stress grows and accumulates until failure occurs.
