Effects of Fatigue Damage on the Microscopic Modulus of Cortical Bone Using Nanoindentation
Alterations to the bone structure from cycle loadings can undermine its damage resistance at multiple scales. The accumulation of fatigue damage in a bone is commonly characterized by the reduction in the elastic modulus. In this study, nano-indentation was used for investigating microscopic damage...
