Abstract

The nonlinear behavior of cortical bone in torsion can be explained largely by damage accumulation and viscoelasticity. This paper develops a continuum damage model (CDM) to predict shear stress and shear strain of cortical bone in torsion. The proposed CDM takes into consideration the combined effects of viscoelasticity and time dependent damage accumulation. Experimental viscoelastic and residual strength tests are conducted in parallel to provide the phenomenological background for the model.
