| Abstract Scope |
Biogenic composite materials such as bone exhibit a combination of properties exceeding that of their constituents, a feat generally credited to their hierarchal structure, down to the nanoscale. Bone is complex tissue with nanoscale mineralized collagen fibrils as mechanical building blocks. Because of the inherent nanometer scale, we have a limited knowledge of time-dependent and small scale bone response to physiological loading. During cycling loading, injury, and repair, bone tissue is exposed to large strains and dynamic loads representing a drastic departure from the quasi-static and macroscale conditions for the which our current knowledge of bone fracture is based. Here, we will employ in situ electron and xray nanomechanical experiments to tackle: how does the nanostructure of bone respond to cycling physiological loading? and what mechanisms dictate dynamic fracture in bone? |
