Abstract

The cortical bone is known to exhibit nonlinear viscoelastic behavior in torsion as well as the behavior consistent with a damaging composite material. However, there is a lack of understanding of the interactions between damage and viscoelasticity. Hence, the interactions between damage and time effects should be reflected in how these behaviors differ under torque and twist control. In this paper, tests are made for variations in rate and size effects under monotonic conditions and in the creep and relaxation properties of cortical bone in torsion.
