The water volume of an individual's bone weight
What is 25-30%
This term describes a material's resistance to deformation when a force is applied
What is stiffness
Unit(s) of strain
What is none
Type of stress when forces act towards each other, squeezing the suture
What is Compression
The bone has been twisted
What is a spiral Fracture
This law states that stress is proportional to strain within the eleastic region
Whats is Hooke's law
This slop of the stress/strain curve represents a material's stiffness
What is Young's modulus
Type of strain describing the change in length divided by the original length
What is normal strain?
Type of stress that occurs when forces act away from each other, pulling the suture apart
What is tension
Cracks in the bone
What are fissures
The end point of a stress/strain curve
What is failure point
A material with a steep, high slope on the stress-strain curve is described using this term.
What is "stiff"/ "rgid"
This region of the stress/strain curve showa small reversible deformation
What is the elastic region
This stress results from forces acting parallel but in opposite directions
What is shear stress
A common bone injury in children
What is a Salter-Harris Fracture
Type of material that returns to its original state after the force is removed
This protein-rich tissue is less stiff than bone but more compliant, allowing it to absorb shock.
What is cartilage?
This point represents the maximum strain a material can withstand before breaking
What is failure point
Times the decimal moves from cm2 to m2
What is 4
Cause of early closure of growth plates
Salter-Harris Fracture
The type of material that shows both elastic behavior and time-dependent deformation
What is viscoelasticity
This term describes a material that returns to its original shape after deformation but has low stiffness, similar to a rubber band.
What is elasticity?
This property describes a material that can undergo large strains before failure, like ligaments
what is ductility
This region represents permanent deformation that remains after unloading
What is the plastic region
Greenstick Fracture
