The shaft of the tibia is subjected to compressive forces. The length of the tibia shaft is 0.30 m and the cross-sectional area of cortical bone in the shaft is 0.0002 m2. If the ultimate compressive strength of cortical bone is 200 x 106 N/m2, what is the maximum compressive force (in N) that can be applied to the tibia shaft before compressive failure?

If you jump from a desktop and land stiff-legged on a concrete floor, you run a significant risk that you will break a leg. To see how that happens, consider the average force stopping your body when you drop from rest from a height of 1.10 m and stop in a much shorter distance d. Your leg is likely to break at the point where the cross-sectional area of the bone (the tibia) is smallest. This point is just above...
So, why can a properly executed karate kick break a concrete block without fracturing bones [16]?...
So, why can a properly executed karate kick break a concrete block without fracturing bones [16]? First, bone is a very strong material. Its ultimate compressive strength is approximately 40 times larger than concrete. Second, contact is made with the edge of the foot. This concentrates the force into a small area of the target and reduces the likelihood of bending a bone to the point of fracture. Third, the collision with the target is essentially inelastic and extends over...

A shaft of 2m length, 30 mm radius, with a wall thickness of 5 mm has a torque applied of 450 N. If the material has a G value of 275 GPa, what is the angular deflection in radians and degrees? Hint, you need to calculate the J value, T x l/J x G = deflection, and then convert to degrees. (up to 15 points) A torque of 1500 N on a shaft of 20 mm radius will have what...

Femur is the main bone in the upper leg. Assume that the minimum cross-sectional area of the femur of a human adult is 6x10-4 m2 . The weight of the human is 70 kg. The ultimate compression strength for bone is 17 x 107 N.m-2. The Young’s modulus for bone in compression is 0.9 x 1010 N.m-2. What is the compression load at which fracture occurs? Comment on the size of this force and compare it with the weight of...
