Fracture toughness testing is critical to assess material resistance. Discover how nanoindentation can help testing it.

A stress fracture is generally the result of overuse or repeated trauma to a bone. Also known as "fatigue fractures," stress fractures may occur when muscles become fatigued or overloaded and transfer ...

The joint above the calcaneus, called the subtalar joint, is responsible for allowing the foot to rotate inward and outward. Calcaneus fractures are almost always the result of severe, high-energy ...

Additionally, the effects of temperature on fracture behavior have been explored, particularly in the context of brittle-to-ductile transitions. Researchers have proposed theories that describe ...

On the other hand, an exponential softening law can be used to simulate the behavior of ductile materials such as metals. The length of the cohesive zone or fracture process zone can be determined ...

"If we want to create stronger and more ductile materials ... to promote a continuously increased flow stress until the fracture of the alloy at a remarkable 10% strain with an equally impressive ...

Bone Fracture (BF) is common and could lead to malunion and arthritis with attendant morbidity (Jones et al., 2020), mortality and around 1.71 billion people Musculoskeletal Condition (MC) worldwide ...
