Abstract
Bone is hard and has a stress-strain relationship similar to many engineering materials. Hence stress analysis in bone can be made in a way similar to the usual engineering structural analysis. Figure 12.1:1 shows the stress-strain relationship of a human femur subjected to uniaxial tension. It is seen that dry bone is brittle and fails at a strain of 0.4%; but wet bone is less so, and fails at a strain of 1.2%.
