Microdamage is a mechanically related phenomenon. Its formation is both strain magnitude and rate dependent, with increases in either beyond threshold levels resulting in increased damage …

Linear microcracks (∼50–100 μm) and diffuse damage (clusters of sublamellar-sized cracks) are the two major bone microdamage types, each with different mechanical and biological …

Microdamage is a component of bone quality believed to play an integral role in bone health. However, comparability between existing studies is fraught with issues due to highly variable …

This article reviews the experimental techniques for identifying and quantifying different types of microdamage in bone, the density of in vivo microcracks at different skeletal locations, the …

This paper reports on the development of a theoretical model to simulate the growth and repair of microdamage in bone. Unlike previous theories, which use simplified descriptions of damage, …

2003年8月29日 · By definition, accumulation of microdamage in any material or structure causes a reduction in elastic modulus. Animal and postmortem human studies show that …

Bone microdamage is critical in the understanding of bone quality. Assessment of microdamage is technically difficult, especially in humans. The clinical impact of microdamage potentially …

2011年10月20日 · This chapter provides a review of literature reports on the detection of microdamage and its limitations; alterations in microdamage with aging and disease; …

2015年3月18日 · Microdamage resulting from fatigue or 'wear and tear' loading contributes to bone fragility; however, the full extent of its influence is not completely understood. Linear …

Microdamage, produced during loading, manifests in multiple forms across the scales of hierarchy in bone and functions to dissipate energy and avert fracture. Microdamage formation is a key …
