Problem 1: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Consider the portion of the cervical spine known as C3- C6, consisting of four cervical vertebrae and three interposing intervertebral discs (figure on the right). Assume you can model each vertebral body and intervertebral disc as prismatic bars made of linear elastic materials. Each vertebral body is made of cortical bone ( E = 15 GPa) and has a height of 15 mm. Each intervertebral disc has a height of 9 mm and E = 980 kPa. Both vertebrae and intervertebral discs have cross- sectional areas of 750 mm 2 . Under a compressive load F = 50 N (roughly equivalent to the weight of a human head), what is the total deformation (shortening) of the C3-C6 segment of the cervical spine? 3

Problem 2: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Synthetic biomaterial scaffolds are being developed to induce bone regeneration in critical size defects (defects that are too large for normal healing to occur). In this example, the scaffold fills a 1.5 cm gap in the tibia. In the diagram, in addition to the axial compressive loads, there is an intermediate tensile load applied by the patellar ligament (transmitting the quadriceps muscle force): Assume the bone has a circular cross-sectional area of A = 480 mm 2 . The elastic modulus of the tibia is E = 15 GPa, and the elastic modulus of the space filler is E = 3.5 GPa. The force applied by the ankle joint is 1.5 kN. The force applied by the knee is 2.2 kN. Determine the total change in length of the tibia. 4
Problem 3: Non-Uniform Axial Loading After fracture of the tibia, a callus forms around the fracture site, consisting of a mixture of woven bone and cartilage. Over time, the callus is replaced with normal, organized bone tissue (called lamellar bone) that is much stronger than the temporary callus. Let us consider a tibia at the early stages of the callus. The callus has a larger radius than the normal tibia, but is composed of weaker woven bone: Let us assume that both the cortical bone of the normal tibia and the woven bone of the callus are linear elastic materials with E cortical = 18 GPa and E woven = 0.5 GPa. The proximal and distal tibia are prismatic bars with cross-sectional areas A = 350 mm 2 . The callus is also a prismatic bar, with cross- sectional area A = 720 mm 2 . The entire tibia is subjected to end-applied compressive forces F = 500 N, as shown above. Based on these assumptions and parameters, answer the following questions: a) What is the internal force in the callus? b) What is the change in length of the entire tibia? 5
Problem 4: Non-Uniform Axial Loading In total knee replacements (TKRs), the tibial plateau is replaced with a tibial component, consisting of a polyethylene (PE) insert on a titanium alloy tray. We can idealize a tibia with a TKR tibial component as a segmented bar under compressive loading: If the entire tibia (including the plastic and metal tibial component) experiences a change in length of δ = -0.1 mm, what is the magnitude of the compressive force F ? The elastic modulus for the PE, titanium alloy, and bone are E PE = 0.9 GPa, E Ti = 90 GPa, and E bone = 15 GPa, respectively. Remember to show your work and state all relevant assumptions. 6

Problem 5: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Ruptures of the Achilles tendon are typically repaired by suturing together the two ruptured ends. We can model the repaired tissue as a segmented bar under uniaxial tensile loading (pictured on the right). Both the Achilles tendon and the sutures joining the two portions of the Achilles tendon are modeled as prismatic bars made of linear elastic materials, with the (undeformed) lengths given above. The cross-sectional area of the tendon (for both portions) is A = 55 mm 2 and the elastic modulus is E = 1177 MPa. The total cross-sectional area of the sutures is A = 0.46 mm 2 and the elastic modulus is E = 3700 MPa. Even with limited activity after surgery, the repaired Achilles tendon can be subjected to significant loads. Under a tensile force F , the entire surgically repaired Achilles tendon stretches by δ = 0.59 mm. Given this information, answer the following questions (remember to show your work and state assumptions): a) Based on the observed change in length, what is the uniaxial tensile force F applied to the repaired Achilles tendon? b) Draw a stress element representing the state of stress in the sutures. What are the principal stresses and corresponding principal angles for this state of stress? 7
Problem 6: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Ruptures of the Achilles tendon are typically repaired by suturing together the two ruptured ends. We can model the repaired tissue as a segmented bar under uniaxial tensile loading: Both the Achilles tendon and the sutures joining the two portions of the Achilles tendon are modeled as prismatic bars made of linear elastic materials. The cross sectional area of the tendon (for both portions) is A = 58 mm 2 and the Young’s modulus is E = 820 MPa. The cross-sectional area of the sutures (made of polyester) is A = 20 mm 2 and the Young’s modulus is E = 240 MPa. Even with limited activity after surgical repair, the Achilles tendon can be subjected to significant loads. Under a tensile force of 1800 N, what is the change in length of the repaired Achilles tendon? 8
Problem 7: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Consider a bone fixation plate made of titanium alloy ( E = 90 GPa), subjected to intermediate axial loads as pictured: The cross-sectional area of the plate is 16 mm 2 at the ends, and 8 mm 2 in the center portion (where the cut-out is). Based on the illustration provided, answer the following questions (remember to show your work and state additional assumptions): a) What is the total change in length of the fixation plate under these loads? b) What is the maximum shear stress in the fixation plate and where does it occur? 9

Problem 8: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Consider the following bone fixation plate made of Ti-6V-4Al ( E = 90 GPa), with a cross-sectional area of 60 mm 2 : The plate is subjected to 7000 N loads (as pictured) at each location where a screw is inserted. Answer the following questions: a) What are the internal forces in each portion of the fixation plate? b) What is the deformed length of the fixation plate under the pictured loads? 10
Problem 9: Statically Indeterminate Axially Loaded Systems A number of polymer biomaterials have been considered for orthopedic applications, but the strength of these polymers is often a concern. To address this deficiency, biomaterials researchers have reinforced these polymers with much stronger materials, such as carbon fibers. Consider the polymer polyether ether ketone (PEEK) reinforced with carbon fibers. The carbon fibers are aligned in the direction of loading, and make up 70% of the total volume of the material (and therefore we can approximate that carbon fibers are 70% of the cross-sectional area). PEEK has a Young’s modulus E = 5 GPa, while the carbon fibers have a Young’s modulus E = 150 GPa. Let us model a hip implant stem made of carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK as a solid circular cylinder with length L = 12 cm and a radius of 8 mm. During preliminary mechanical testing, the stem is subjected to a uniaxial compressive force of 2000 N. Answer the following questions: a) What the internal forces in the PEEK and the carbon fibers? b) What are the axial normal strains in the PEEK and the carbon fibers? 11
Problem 10: Statically Indeterminate Axially Loaded Systems Stress shielding is a phenomenon where bone mineral density decreases due to the presence of an implant that shifts the loading away from the bone. This is usually because the implant is made of a material with a significantly higher elastic modulus than bone tissue. Let us consider a simplified situation where the stem of a hip implant sits inside the proximal femur. The bone-implant hybrid consists of an outer shell of cortical bone ( E = 18 GPa, A = 530 mm 2 ) and an inner core of Ti-13Nb-13Zr ( E = 75 GPa, A = 430 mm 2 ) that is press-fit inside the bone. Determine the relative amount of force that the cortical bone and titanium alloy stem will experience during uniaxial compressive loading. Compare this to the amount of loading that the cortical bone would experience if the implant stem was not present. 12

Problem 11: Statically Indeterminate Axially Loaded Systems Stress shielding in bone due to metallic orthopedic implants is not limited to joint replacements. The presence of an internal fixation plate on the femur can also cause significantly reduced loading on the bone. Consider the simplified example below: In this model of a fixation plate and a segment of the femur undergoing compressive axial loading ( F = 750 N), both the femur and the fixation plate are assumed to be prismatic bars, with cross-sectional areas A femur = 350 mm 2 and A plate = 75 mm 2 . The length of the femur-fixation plate system is L = 10 cm. The femur is made of cortical bone ( E = 15 GPa) and the plate is made of 316L stainless steel ( E = 200 GPa). In our simplified model, we will not consider the effects of the screws used to keep the fixation plate in place. Based on these initial assumptions and the schematic provided, answer the following questions (remember to show your work and state additional assumptions): a) Show that this system is statically indeterminate. Write an appropriate equation of compatibility for this system. b) What are the internal forces (acting on the cross-sections) in the femur and the plate under these loading conditions? c) What is the maximum shear stress in the fixation plate and where does it occur? d) To prevent stress shielding, the femur should experiencing an axial compressive strain = 0.0001 under these loading conditions. Does at least that amount of strain occur? 13
Problem 12: Statically Indeterminate Axially Loaded Systems Consider a 15 cm long segment of the normal femur, and then the same femur where the cancellous bone has been removed and replaced with a titanium alloy hip implant, as illustrated (assume the femur is a prismatic bar with a circular cross-section of outer diameter 2.8 cm): Assume that the dimensions between situation A and B are identical; the only change is the complete replacement of the cancellous bone interior of the femur with the hip implant stem (made of Ti-6Al- 4V). Under an axial compressive load of 3000 N, answer the following questions. a) What are the normal stresses and normal strains in the cortical bone and cancellous bone in situation A? b) What are the normal stresses and normal strains in the cortical bone and Ti-6Al-4V implant stem in situation B? 14
Problem 13: Statically Indeterminate Axially Loaded Systems Consider the following system, which consists of a bar with constant diameter of 80 mm, but made of two different materials. The bar is fixed between two immovable walls at A and C, and a load P = 100 kN is applied at D. Source: Introductory Mechanics of Materials (via YouTube) (2017) Answer the following questions: a) Show that the system is statically indeterminate. b) Write an appropriate equation of compatibility that would allow you to solve this system. c) What are the internal forces in the two bars (AB and BC)? 15

Problem 14: Axial Loading The vertebral bodies in the lumbar spine are subjected to axial compressive forces during a variety of everyday activities. Consider a simple model of a vertebral body consisting of the following: Two endplates of cortical bone ( E = 15 GPa), with cross-sectional area A = 283 mm 2 and length L = 1 mm. A centrum of trabecular bone ( E = 700 MPa) with cross-sectional area A = 226 mm 2 , surrounded by a cortical bone shell of cross-sectional area A = 57 mm 2 . The centrum and cortical shell have a length L = 26 mm. If the entire vertebral body is subjected to a uniaxial compressive force of 600 N, determine the following (remember to show your work and state assumptions): a) Internal normal forces in the two endplates, the centrum, and the cortical shell (surrounding the centrum) b) Total change in length of the vertebral body 16
Problem 15: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Fixation plates are sometimes used to keep bone fractures in union during healing. Consider a situation where a healing humerus is subjected to tension (e.g., when someone lifts something heavy). The fixation plate is modeled by the intermediate axial loads: The normal portions of the humerus have E = 18 GPa. The callus has E = 5 GPa. The cross- sectional area over the entire humerus is a relatively constant A = 710 mm 2 . Answer the following questions (remember to show your work): a) What is the total change in length of the humerus? b) To keep the healing fracture in union, the central segment of the humerus must remain under a small amount of compression. Is the healing fracture under compression in this case? 17
Problem 16: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Most hip implant stem components have a gradual taper. Let us consider a titanium alloy ( E = 100 GPa) stem component with L = 128 mm with a tapering rectangular cross-section. The width of the cross-section is a constant w = 7 mm, but the thickness t tapers from 20 mm (at x = 0 mm) to 6 mm (at x = 128 mm). We can describe the cross-sectional area A(x) as a function of x (position along the length of the stem): A ( x ) = w∙t ( x ) =− 0.76563 x + 140 In this case, A(x) is in units of mm 2 if x is inputted in units of mm. If a uniaxial compressive force F = 500 N is applied to the tapered stem, determine its total change in length. 18

Problem 17: Non-Uniform Axial Loading For large bone defects (e.g., after removal of a bone tumor), surgeons sometimes use fibular grafts to fill the gap.  The surgeon removes a large segment of the fibula (which has relatively limited weight bearing function in our lower leg), and transplants that segment into the bone needing repair. Consider a situation where a fibular graft is used to fill a large defect in the humerus (upper arm bone).  A simplified diagram of the system look as follows: You know the following information: The cross-sectional area of the humerus (for both humeral segments) is  A humerus  = 315 mm 2 The cross-sectional area of the fibular graft is A fibula = 200 mm 2   F biceps  = 400 N F elbow  = 1500 N E bone  = 20 GPa The lengths are as shown on the diagram Given this information, answer the following questions (remember to show your work): a) State any relevant assumptions. b) What is F shoulder ? c) How many segments are there? d) What are the internal normal forces in each segment? e) What is the total change in length, in millimeters, of the entire system (make sure you use the correct sign)?  19
Problem 18: Non-Uniform Axial Loading Consider the following simplified model of a dental implant, which consists of a solid titanium cap on top of an exterior of porous tantalum surrounding a core of solid titanium: In addition to the lengths shown on the diagram, you have the following information: Total change in length δ = -0.0015 mm Elastic modulus of titanium E Titanium = 100 GPa Elastic modulus of porous tantalum E Tantalum = 10 GPa Cross-sectional area of the titanium cap = 12 mm 2 Cross-sectional area of the porous tantalum exterior = 7 mm 2 Cross-sectional area of the titanium core = 5 mm 2 Answer the following questions and remember to show your work: a) State your assumptions. b) Write an equation of equilibrium that shows that a portion of this system is statically indeterminate. c) Write an appropriate equation of compatibility for the statically indeterminate portion of the system. d) Determine the relationship between the internal normal forces in the porous tantalum exterior and the titanium core. e) Determine the applied force F necessary to cause the indicated total change in length δ = - 0.0015 mm. 20
Problem 19: Non-Uniform Torsion An osteosarcoma (bone tumor) is removed from a patient’s tibia, leaving a large defect in the patient’s bone. The surgeons use an experimental bioactive ceramic scaffold to replace the defect, press fitting it into the space left behind, as shown: The bone has a shear modulus G = 4 GPa, and the ceramic has a shear modulus G = 1 GPa. Assume both the bone and the scaffold can be modeled as solid circular bars with radius 1.2 cm , and an external torque T = 60 N-m is applied as shown. a) What is the angle of twist of the repaired tibia? b) What is the maximum shear strain in the ceramic scaffold, and where does it occur? c) How does the angle of twist of the repaired tibia compare to the angle of twist (for the same applied torque) of the intact tibia? 21

Problem 20: Non-Uniform Torsion After fracture of the tibia, a callus forms around the fracture site, consisting of a mixture of woven bone and cartilage. Over time, the callus is replaced with normal, organized bone tissue (called lamellar bone) that is much stronger than the temporary callus. Let us consider a tibia with a healing callus. The callus has a larger radius than the normal tibia, but is composed of more compliant woven bone: Let us assume that both the cortical bone of the normal tibia and the woven bone of the callus are linear elastic materials with G cortical = 4 GPa and G woven = 0.2 GPa. The proximal and distal tibia are circular prismatic bars with radius r = 12 mm. The callus is also a circular prismatic bar, with radius r = 15 mm. The entire tibia is subjected to end-applied torques T , as shown above. In response, the entire system twists a total of 1 o (0.0175 rad). Based on these simple model assumptions and parameters, answer the following questions (remember to show your work and state additional assumptions): a) What is the applied torque T ? b) What is the maximum shear stress in the callus and where does it occur? c) What is the maximum tensile normal stress in the callus and where does it occur? 22

We can model the intervertebral disc as a circular tube (annulus fibrosus) filled with a concentric circular bar (nucleus pulposus), as pictured: The annulus fibrosus has a shear modulus G = 75 kPa and polar moment of inertia I P = 3.02 x 10 -7 m 4 , while the nucleus pulposus has a shear modulus G = 15 kPa and polar moment of inertia I P = 3.77 x 10 -9 m 4 . If the intervertebral disc is subjected to a 0.3 N-m externally applied torque, answer the following questions (please show all of your work): a) Write (but do not solve) the equation(s) of equilibrium, equation of compatibility, and constitutive equation(s) used to solve this system. b) What is the angle of twist of the entire intervertebral disc? c) What are the normal and shear stresses acting on the surface of the annulus fibrosus at 25 o to the longitudinal axis? 25

[Solution] Problem 1 Consider the portion of the cervical spine known as C3- C6, consisting of four cervical vertebrae and three interposing intervertebral discs (figure on the right). Assume you can model each vertebral body and intervertebral disc as prismatic bars made of linear elastic materials. Each vertebral body is made of cortical bone ( E = 15 GPa) and has a height of 15 mm. Each intervertebral disc has a height of 9 mm and E = 980 kPa. Both vertebrae and intervertebral discs have cross- sectional areas of 750 mm 2 . Under a compressive load F = 50 N (roughly equivalent to the weight of a human head), what is the total deformation (shortening) of the C3-C6 segment of the cervical spine? Assumptions 1. Vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs are prismatic bars 2. Linear elastic materials 3. Isotropic materials 4. Homogeneous materials 5. Uniaxial compression – this is a significant assumption, since we know that the spine curves, and therefore the load is not perfectly uniaxial (it is actually more like combined compression and bending) Based on the assumptions we made, we can use the equation for determining the deformation of an axial bar that can be represented by multiple axial segments (in this case 7 different segments): δ = i = 1 7 N i L i E i A i At this point we make two observations. First, since the cross-section area of the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs are assumed to be identical, A i = A = 750 mm 2 . Second, since the only axial loads are applied at the end, we can see that the internal forces N i will be equal to F in every single segment. Thus, our equation becomes: δ = F A i = 1 7 L i E i Since we have 4 identical vertebral bodies with the same L and E, and the 3 identical intervertebral discs, we can quickly determine the total shortening of the C3-C6 spine: δ = 50 N 750 mm 2 ( 4 ( 15 mm ) 15000 MPa 3 ( 9 mm ) 0.98 MPa ) =− 1.84 mm 29

[Solution] Problem 2 Synthetic biomaterial scaffolds are being developed to induce bone regeneration in critical size defects (defects that are too large for normal healing to occur). In this example, the scaffold fills a 1.5 cm gap in the tibia. In the diagram, in addition to the axial compressive loads, there is an intermediate tensile load applied by the patellar ligament (transmitting the quadriceps muscle force): Assume the bone has a circular cross-sectional area of A = 480 mm 2 . The elastic modulus of the tibia is E = 15 GPa, and the elastic modulus of the space filler is E = 3.5 GPa. The force applied by the ankle joint is 1.5 kN. The force applied by the knee is 2.2 kN. Determine the total change in length of the tibia. Assumptions: 1. Linear elastic materials 2. Isotropic materials 3. Homogeneous materials 4. Forces are all axial 5. All segments are prismatic bars with same cross-sectional area First we need to determine the intermediate axial force applied by the patellar ligament. From the free body diagram above, we can write the equation of equilibrium for forces in the x- direction: F x = 0 = F knee F ligament F ankle F ligament = F knee F ankle = 2.2 kN 1.5 kN = 700 N To solve for the length of the tibia, we need to determine the total deformation of the tibia. To do this, we analyze the tibia by segments, starting with a free body diagram to determine the internal forces of each segment: 31

We can solve for the internal forces for each segment: N 1 = 700 N + 1500 N = 2200 N N 2 = N 3 = N 4 = 1500 N Now we use our equation for determining the deformation of a segmented bar under axial load. Remember that L i is the length of each individual segment: δ = i = 1 4 F i L i E i A = 1 480 mm 2 ( ( 2200 N ) ( 40 mm ) 15,000 MPa + ( 1500 N ) ( 165 mm ) 15,000 MPa + ( 1500 N ) ( 15 mm ) 3,500 MPa + ( 1500 N ) ( 180 mm ) 15,000 MPa ) = ¿ 0.0975 mm ¿ Since the tibia is under compressive load, and each segment is also under compression, both the individual segments and the whole tibia experience a negative change in length = -0.0975 mm . 32

[Solution] Problem 3 After fracture of the tibia, a callus forms around the fracture site, consisting of a mixture of woven bone and cartilage. Over time, the callus is replaced with normal, organized bone tissue (called lamellar bone) that is much stronger than the temporary callus. Let us consider a tibia at the early stages of the callus. The callus has a larger radius than the normal tibia, but is composed of weaker woven bone: Let us assume that both the cortical bone of the normal tibia and the woven bone of the callus are linear elastic materials with E cortical = 18 GPa and E woven = 0.5 GPa. The proximal and distal tibia are prismatic bars with cross-sectional areas A = 350 mm 2 . The callus is also a prismatic bar, with cross- sectional area A = 720 mm 2 . The entire tibia is subjected to end-applied compressive forces F = 500 N, as shown above. Based on these assumptions and parameters, answer the following questions: a) What is the internal force in the callus? Since there are no intermediate axial loads applied to the tibia in this case, the internal force throughout the tibia is equal to the externally applied load, i.e., F callus = 500 N. b) What is the change in length of the entire tibia? Assumptions: 1. Linear elastic materials 2. Isotropic materials 3. Homogeneous materials 4. Segments are prismatic bars 5. Uniaxial compression Since this is a case of non-uniform axial loading, we need to divide our tibia into three segments: proximal tibia, callus, and distal tibia. That allows us to use the following formula: δ = i = 1 n N i L i E i A i Important note: since the end-applied loads compress the tibia, all internal forces N i must be negative when entered in this equation. δ = (− 500 N )( 0.18 m ) ( 18 x 10 9 Pa )( 0.00035 m 2 ) + (− 500 N )( 0.06 m ) ( 0.5 x 10 9 Pa )( 0.00072 m 2 ) + (− 500 N )( 0.12 m ) ( 18 x 10 9 Pa )( 0.00035 m 2 ) 33

δ =− 0.000107 m =− 0.107 mm =− 107 μm [Solution] Problem 4 In total knee replacements (TKRs), the tibial plateau is replaced with a tibial component, consisting of a polyethylene (PE) insert on a titanium alloy tray. We can idealize a tibia with a TKR tibial component as a segmented bar under compressive loading: If the entire tibia (including the plastic and metal tibial component) experiences a change in length of δ = -0.1 mm, what is the magnitude of the compressive force F ? The elastic modulus for the PE, titanium alloy, and bone are E PE = 0.9 GPa, E Ti = 90 GPa, and E bone = 15 GPa, respectively. Remember to show your work and state all relevant assumptions. Key assumptions: 1. All materials are isotropic, homogeneous, and linear elastic 2. Each segment is a prismatic bar 3. Each segment experiences uniaxial loading This allows us to use our equation for the behavior of a system that can be segmented in prismatic bars undergoing uniaxial loads in each segment: δ = i = 1 n N i L i E i A i In this case, we already know the total change in length. We also observe, from the formulation of the problem, that there are no intermediate axial loads. This means that the internal force in each segment, N i , is equal the applied force F (alternatively, you could also show that this is true via a series of free body diagrams to find each internal force). We also observe that the tibia can be segmented into 5 segments: PE insert, metal tray, proximal tibia, tibial shaft, and distal tibia. We can now set up our equation: 34

[Solution] Problem 5 Ruptures of the Achilles tendon are typically repaired by suturing together the two ruptured ends. We can model the repaired tissue as a segmented bar under uniaxial tensile loading (pictured on the right). Both the Achilles tendon and the sutures joining the two portions of the Achilles tendon are modeled as prismatic bars made of linear elastic materials, with the (undeformed) lengths given above. The cross-sectional area of the tendon (for both portions) is A = 55 mm 2 and the elastic modulus is E = 1177 MPa. The total cross-sectional area of the sutures is A = 0.46 mm 2 and the elastic modulus is E = 3700 MPa. Even with limited activity after surgery, the repaired Achilles tendon can be subjected to significant loads. Under a tensile force F , the entire surgically repaired Achilles tendon stretches by δ = 0.59 mm. Given this information, answer the following questions (remember to show your work and state assumptions): a) Based on the observed change in length, what is the uniaxial tensile force F applied to the repaired Achilles tendon? We identify that this system, based on changes in material and cross-sectional area, must be divided into 3 segments. Then we draw free body diagrams to determine the internal normal force in each of these segments: Based on the FBDs, we can see the internal normal force is a constant value equal to F (in tension) for all segments. Since we are given the total change in length, we can use our equation for the total change in length of a segmented bar to find the applied force F : δ Total = i = 1 3 δ i = i = 1 3 N i L i E i A i = F [ 40 mm ( 1177 MPa )( 55 mm 2 ) + 3 mm ( 3700 MPa )( 0.46 mm 2 ) + 30 mm ( 1177 MPa )( 55 mm 2 ) ] 36

δ Total = 0.59 mm = F [ 40 mm ( 1177 MPa )( 55 mm 2 ) + 3 mm ( 3700 MPa )( 0.46 mm 2 ) + 30 mm ( 1177 MPa )( 55 mm 2 ) ] 0.59 mm = F ( 0.002844 mm N ) → F = 207.5 N b) Draw a stress element representing the state of stress in the sutures. What are the principal stresses and corresponding principal angles for this state of stress? Since we assume that the tendon is undergoing uniaxial tension, the state of stress in the sutures will be uniaxial normal stress. All we have to do is define the direction of loading (I choose x here, but it is arbitrary – x or y is appropriate) and then calculate the normal stress in the sutures: σ x = N 2 A = F A = 207.5 N 0.46 mm 2 = 451 MPa Since this is uniaxial normal stress, we know that the principal stresses correspond to these reference configuration stress components (you could also go through the process of solving for the principal stresses and angles): σ 1 = 451 MPa@ 0 ° σ 2 = 0 MPa@ 90 ° ( alternatively@ 90 ° ) Note that if you defined the y-direction as the direction of loading, the only thing that would change are the principal angles (they would switch). 37

[Solution] Problem 6 Ruptures of the Achilles tendon are typically repaired by suturing together the two ruptured ends. We can model the repaired tissue as a segmented bar under uniaxial tensile loading: Both the Achilles tendon and the sutures joining the two portions of the Achilles tendon are modeled as prismatic bars made of linear elastic materials. The cross sectional area of the tendon (for both portions) is A = 58 mm 2 and the Young’s modulus is E = 820 MPa. The cross-sectional area of the sutures (made of polyester) is A = 20 mm 2 and the Young’s modulus is E = 240 MPa. Even with limited activity after surgical repair, the Achilles tendon can be subjected to significant loads. Under a tensile force of 1800 N, what is the change in length of the repaired Achilles tendon? Because the repaired Achilles tendon has sutures with different cross-sectional area and properties, we immediately recognize that this is a case of non-uniform axial loading. First we need to determine how many segments to divide our repaired tendon into. By inspection, we see that force, cross-sectional area, and/or properties change twice, dividing the system into three segments: the upper portion of the tendon, the sutures, and the lower portion of the tendon. Next we determine the internal forces in each segment. We can do so using free body diagrams that cut through each segment (to reveal the internal force), or we can show by inspection that, since the only applied loads are at the ends, the internal forces in all segments are equal to 1800 N (tensile). Now we can use our summation equation to find the change in length of the repaired tendon: δ = i = 1 3 N i L i E i A i = ( 1800 N )( 36 mm ) ( 820 MPa )( 58 mm 2 ) + ( 1800 N )( 1 mm ) ( 240 MPa )( 20 mm 2 ) + ( 1800 N )( 30 mm ) ( 820 MPa )( 58 mm 2 ) = 2.87 mm 38

[Solution] Problem 7 Consider a bone fixation plate made of titanium alloy ( E = 90 GPa), subjected to intermediate axial loads as pictured: The cross-sectional area of the plate is 16 mm 2 at the ends, and 8 mm 2 in the center portion (where the cut-out is). Based on the illustration provided, answer the following questions (remember to show your work and state additional assumptions): a) What is the total change in length of the fixation plate under these loads? This is clearly a system that we need to segment into individual segments of prismatic bars undergoing uniaxial loading. We first assume that the plate is made of a linear elastic material (titanium alloy), and we observe that the changes in loading and cross-section require us to break it into 5 different segments. We draw free body diagrams that allow us to determine the internal forces in each of these five segments: N 1 300 N = 0 →N 1 = 300 N N 2 300 N 300 N = 0 →N 2 = 600 N N 3 300 N 300 N = 0 →N 3 = 600 N 39

N 4 300 N 300 N = 0 → N 4 = 600 N N 5 + 300 N 300 N 300 N = 0 →N 5 = 300 N Note that all the forces are tensile. Now we can apply our equation for total change in length of a non-uniform axially loaded system: δ = i = 1 n N i L i E i A i δ = ( 300 N )( 10 mm ) ( 90,000 MPa )( 16 mm 2 ) + ( 600 N )( 5 mm ) ( 90,000 MPa )( 16 mm 2 ) + ( 600 N )( 50 mm ) ( 90,000 MPa )( 8 mm 2 ) + ( 600 N )( 5 mm ) ( 90,000 MPa )( 16 mm 2 ) + ( 300 N )( 10 m ( 90,000 MPa )( 1 Alternatively, you can lump some segments together: δ =( 2 ) ( 300 N )( 10 mm ) ( 90,000 MPa )( 16 mm 2 ) +( 2 ) ( 600 N )( 5 mm ) ( 90,000 MPa )( 16 mm 2 ) + ( 600 N )( 50 mm ) ( 90,000 MPa )( 8 mm 2 ) Either way, you evaluate your equation, and find the total change in length: δ = 0.05 mm b) What is the maximum shear stress in the fixation plate and where does it occur? In an axially loaded system, the maximum shear stress occurs wherever the maximum normal stress occurs, but on a 45 o inclined section (instead of a cross-section). The highest normal stress occurs in the middle segment of the plate (where the cut out is located and the cross- sectional area is smallest). σ x = F A = 600 N 8 mm 2 = 75 MPa Since the maximum shear stress is always one-half the maximum normal stress, we can quickly determine it: τ max = σ x 2 = 37.5 MPa 40

[Solution] Problem 8 Consider the following bone fixation plate made of Ti-6V-4Al ( E = 90 GPa), with a cross-sectional area of 60 mm 2 : The plate is subjected to 7000 N loads (as pictured) at each location where a screw is inserted. Answer the following questions: a) What are the internal forces in each portion of the fixation plate? This problem requires using our segmented bar under uniaxial loading approach. First we need to solve for the internal forces in each of the 5 segments of the bar, keeping in mind that while the elastic modulus and cross-sectional area do not change, the internal force will vary because of the intermediate loads. F x = 0 N 1 7000 N 7000 N + 7000 N + 7000 N = 0 → N 1 = 0 N 2 7000 N + 7000 N + 7000 N = 0 → N 2 = 7000 N N 3 + 7000 N + 7000 N = 0 →N 3 = 14000 N N 4 + 7000 N = 0 →N 4 = 7000 N N 5 = 0 b) What is the deformed length of the fixation plate under the pictured loads? Using the values for the internal forces found in part (b) and our equation for the change in length of an axially loaded prismatic bar, we can find the new length of the fixation plate: δ = i = 1 5 N i L i E i A i = 1 EA i = 1 5 N i L i 41

[Solution] Problem 9 A number of polymer biomaterials have been considered for orthopedic applications, but the strength of these polymers is often a concern. To address this deficiency, biomaterials researchers have reinforced these polymers with much stronger materials, such as carbon fibers. Consider the polymer polyether ether ketone (PEEK) reinforced with carbon fibers. The carbon fibers are aligned in the direction of loading, and make up 70% of the total volume of the material (and therefore we can approximate that carbon fibers are 70% of the cross-sectional area). PEEK has a Young’s modulus E = 5 GPa, while the carbon fibers have a Young’s modulus E = 150 GPa. Let us model a hip implant stem made of carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK as a solid circular cylinder with length L = 12 cm and a radius of 8 mm. During preliminary mechanical testing, the stem is subjected to a uniaxial compressive force of 2000 N. Answer the following questions: a) What the internal forces in the PEEK and the carbon fibers? Assumptions 1. Linear elastic materials 2. Isotropic materials 3. Homogeneous materials 4. Uniaxial compression 5. The two different components (PEEK, carbon fiber) can be approximated as prismatic bars If we write the force balance equations for this system, we quickly ascertain that it is a statically indeterminate system: 2000 N = N PEEK + N fibers To solve a statically indeterminate system, we need to first define an equation of compatibility: δ PEEK = δ fibers Then we assume the PEEK and the carbon fibers behave as prismatic bars made of linear elastic materials under a uniaxial load, and in doing so we can substitute for the change in lengths: N PEEK L E PEEK ( 0.3 A ) = N fibers L E fibers ( 0.7 A ) Now we can solve for the internal force in the carbon fibers as a function of the internal force in the PEEK (or vice versa): 43

N fibers = 0.7 E fibers 0.3 E PEEK N PEEK = ( 0.7 ) ( 150 GPa ) ( 0.3 ) ( 5 GPa ) N PEEK = 70 N PEEK Now we can solve our force balance equation: 2000 N = N PEEK + 70 N PEEK N PEEK = 28.17 N N fibers = 1971.9 N b) What are the axial normal strains in the PEEK and the carbon fibers? There are two typical approaches to answering this question. Approach #1: You can treat the carbon fibers and the PEEK portion of the stem each as prismatic bars made of linear elastic materials under a uniaxial load. Using the information provided and the forces computed in part (a), you can determine the change in length of EITHER the carbon fibers or PEEK (since we showed in part (a) that they must be equal): δ = FL EA A = π r 2 = 0.000201 m 2 δ PEEK = ( 28.17 N )( 0.12 m ) ( 5 x 10 9 Pa )( 0.3 )( 0.000201 m 2 ) = 1.121 x 10 5 m δ fibers = ( 1971.9 N )( 0.12 m ) ( 150 x 10 9 Pa )( 0.7 )( 0.000201 m 2 ) = 1.121 x 10 5 m Then we compute the normal strain (identical for the PEEK and the carbon fibers): ε = δ L = 1.121 x 10 5 m 0.12 m = 9.342 x 10 5 Approach #2: You compute the stress in either the PEEK or carbon fiber portion of the stem, and then use Hooke’s law to find the normal strain. Since the two materials are undergoing the same change length, and have the same overall length, their normal strain should be identical. σ PEEK = 28.17 N ( 0.3 )( 0.000201 m 2 ) = 467,164 Pa 44

σ fibers = 1971.9 N ( 0.7 )( 0.000201 m 2 ) = 14,014,925 Pa Then we substitute either value into Hooke’s law to find the axial strain: ε = σ E = 467,164 Pa 5 x 10 9 Pa = 9.343 x 10 5 ε = σ E = 14,014,925 Pa 150 x 10 9 Pa = 9.343 x 10 5 45

[Solution] Problem 10 Stress shielding is a phenomenon where bone mineral density decreases due to the presence of an implant that shifts the loading away from the bone. This is usually because the implant is made of a material with a significantly higher elastic modulus than bone tissue. Let us consider a simplified situation where the stem of a hip implant sits inside the proximal femur. The bone-implant hybrid consists of an outer shell of cortical bone ( E = 18 GPa, A = 530 mm 2 ) and an inner core of Ti-13Nb-13Zr ( E = 75 GPa, A = 430 mm 2 ) that is press-fit inside the bone. Determine the relative amount of force that the cortical bone and titanium alloy stem will experience during uniaxial compressive loading. Compare this to the amount of loading that the cortical bone would experience if the implant stem was not present. We first realize that this is a statically indeterminate system, since we only have 1 equation of equilibrium with two unknown internal forces: F = N cortical + N Ti 13 Nb 13 Zr We can write a simple equation of compatibility to help us analyze this system: δ cortical = δ Ti Assumptions: 1. Linear elastic materials 2. Isotropic materials 3. Homogeneous materials 4. The two compartments can be approximated as prismatic bars 5. Uniaxial compression Given our assumptions, we can substitute expressions for the changes in length: N cortical L E cortical A cortical = N Ti L E Ti A Ti Rearranging and substituting in the values, we can solve for the force in the cortical bone: N cortical = E cortical A cortical E Ti A Ti N Ti = ( 18 GPa ) ( 530 mm 2 ) ( 75 GPa ) ( 430 mm 2 ) N Ti N cortical = 0.296 N Ti F = N cortical + N Ti = 1.296 N Ti N Ti = 0.772 F N cortical = 0.228 F 46

Recall that, in the normal case, the interior of the femur mostly contains yellow marrow, which contributes very little to the overall load-bearing of the femoral shaft. If we assume that the cortical bone would normally carry ~99% of the applied force, then the change from the healthy to the implanted case is approximately 0.99/0.228, or a 4.3-fold decrease in loading (or in other words, the cortical bone is experiencing about 23% of the load it would normally expect to carry). 47

[Solution] Problem 11 Stress shielding in bone due to metallic orthopedic implants is not limited to joint replacements. The presence of an internal fixation plate on the femur can also cause significantly reduced loading on the bone. Consider the simplified example below: In this model of a fixation plate and a segment of the femur undergoing compressive axial loading ( F = 750 N), both the femur and the fixation plate are assumed to be prismatic bars, with cross-sectional areas A femur = 350 mm 2 and A plate = 75 mm 2 . The length of the femur-fixation plate system is L = 10 cm. The femur is made of cortical bone ( E = 15 GPa) and the plate is made of 316L stainless steel ( E = 200 GPa). In our simplified model, we will not consider the effects of the screws used to keep the fixation plate in place. Based on these initial assumptions and the schematic provided, answer the following questions (remember to show your work and state additional assumptions): a) Show that this system is statically indeterminate. Write an appropriate equation of compatibility for this system. To show that the system is statically indeterminate, you need to show that you have more unknowns than equations when applying force or moment balance equations. In this case, you have 1 equation and 2 unknowns: F y = 0 → N femur + N plate = 750 N Now that we know it is a statically indeterminate system, we begin to solve the system by writing an equation of compatibility. In this case, the equation should be: δ femur = δ plate 48

b) What are the internal forces (acting on the cross-sections) in the femur and the plate under these loading conditions? To solve for the internal forces, we need to assume that cortical bone and stainless steel are linear elastic . Using that assumption, the fact that the plate and femur are prismatic bars, and are subjected to uniaxial loads, we can use our equation of compatibility to write the following equality: δ femur = δ plate N femur L E femur A femur = N plate L E plate A plate We can then solve for 1 of the internal forces in terms of the other: N femur = ( EA ) femur ( EA ) plate N plate = ( 15 GPa )( 350 mm 2 ) ( 200 GPa )( 75 mm 2 ) N plate N femur = 0.35 N plate Now we substitute into our force balance equation and solve for the unknown internal forces: N femur + N plate = 750 N 1.35 N plate = 750 N → N plate = 555.6 N N femur = 194.4 N c) What is the maximum shear stress in the fixation plate and where does it occur? The maximum shear stress will occur on an inclined section. We know that the magnitude of the maximum shear stress is ½ the maximum normal stress, and those shear stress values occur at ±45 o . You can either state this, or use the inclined section stress equations to directly calculate the max shear stress value. To find the stress value, we need to know the max normal stress: σ x = N plate A plate = 555.6 N 75 mm 2 = 7.4 MPa τ max = σ x 2 = 3.7 MPa Alternatively: τ max = σ x 2 sin 2 θ = 3.7 MPa 49

d) To prevent stress shielding, the femur should experiencing an axial compressive strain = 0.0001 under these loading conditions. Does at least that amount of strain occur? We need to calculate the strain in the femur. We can either do this directly, using the stress in the femur and Hooke’s law, or observe that since the femur and plate have the same length and undergo the same length change, they experience the same strain. Therefore, we can also calculate the strain in the plate and use that, since it is equal to the strain in the femur. Either approach is valid. I opt for the latter, since we have already calculated the stress in the plate in part c. ε femur = ε plate = σ plate E plate = 7.4 MPa 200,000 MPa = 0.000037 Therefore, the answer is no, the femur does not experience normal strain ≥ 0.0001 under these conditions . 50

[Solution] Problem 12 Consider a 15 cm long segment of the normal femur, and then the same femur where the cancellous bone has been removed and replaced with a titanium alloy hip implant, as illustrated (assume the femur is a prismatic bar with a circular cross-section of outer diameter 2.8 cm): Assume that the dimensions between situation A and B are identical; the only change is the complete replacement of the cancellous bone interior of the femur with the hip implant stem (made of Ti-6Al- 4V). Under an axial compressive load of 3000 N, answer the following questions. a) What are the normal stresses and normal strains in the cortical bone and cancellous bone in situation A? This is a statically indeterminate problem—we cannot determine the internal forces within the cortical and cancellous bone from our equation of equilibrium alone. Thus, we will need to identify an equation of compatibility and use force-displacement relationships (assuming linear elastic materials) to solve for the forces, and thus the stresses and strains in the bone tissues. The equation of equilibrium is thus: F y = 0 = 3 kN F cortical F cancellous The equation of compatibility comes from the observation that the deformation of the cortical bone and cancellous bone, since they are one structure, must be equal: δ cortical = δ cancellous = δ Finally, we can assume that the two types of bone behave as linear elastic materials. Since this is an axial loading situation, we can invoke our force-displacement relationships for an axially loaded prismatic bar: 51

δ cortical = F cortical L E cortical A cortical cancellous = F cancellous L E cancellous A cancellous Assuming the cross-section of the bone is circular, the cross-sectional areas of the cortical bone shell and the cancellous bone core are as follows: A cortical = π [ ( 14 mm ) 2 −( 8 mm ) 2 ] = 414.69 mm 2 A cancellous = π ( 8 mm ) 2 = 201.06 mm 2 We can now solve for the force in the cortical bone in terms of the force in the cancellous bone: F cortical L E cortical A cortical = F cancellous L E cancellous A cancellous F cortical = E cortical A cortical E cancellous A cancellous F cancellous = ( 17 GPa ) ( 414.69 mm 2 ) ( 3 GPa ) ( 201.06 mm 2 ) F cancellous F cortical = 11.69 F cancellous Substituting back into our equation of equilibrium, we find the forces: 3 kN F cortical F cancellous = 0 11.69 F cancellous + F cancellous = 3000 N F cancellous = 236.4 N ; F cortical = 2763.6 N Then using our relationships for stress and strain, we obtain those values as well (note that the strain is equal in both cortical and cancellous bone, because the deformation is equal and the original lengths are the same): σ cortical = F cortical A cortical = 2763.6 N 414.69 mm 2 = 6.664 MPa σ cancellous = F cancellous A cancellous = 236.4 N 201.06 mm 2 = 1.176 MPa ε = σ cancellous E cancellous = 1.176 MPa 3,000 MPa = 0.000392 = 0.0392% strain ( compressive ) b) What are the normal stresses and normal strains in the cortical bone and Ti-6Al-4V implant stem in situation B? 52

In principle, we would follow the same procedure as in part (a), except that we would replace the cancellous bone with Ti-6Al-4V. Effectively, we just need to re-run our numbers using the elastic modulus of the alloy (E = 113 GPa) to obtain the stresses and strains. F cortical = E cortical A cortical E Ti 6 Al 4 V A Ti 6 Al 4 V F Ti 6 Al 4 V = ( 17 GPa ) ( 414.69 mm 2 ) ( 113 GPa ) ( 201.06 mm 2 ) F Ti 6 Al 4 V = 0.3103 F Ti 6 Al 4 V 0.3103 F Ti 6 Al 4 V + F Ti 6 Al 4 V = 3000 N F Ti 6 Al 4 V = 2289.6 N ;F cortical = 710.4 N σ cortical = F cortical A cortical = 710.4 N 414.69 mm 2 = 1.713 MPa σ Ti 6 Al 4 V = F Ti 6 Al 4 V A Ti 6 Al 4 V = 2289.6 N 201.06 mm 2 = 11.38 MPa ε = σ Ti 6 Al 4 V E Ti 6 Al 4 V = 11.38 MPa 113,000 MPa = 0.000101 = 0.0101% strain ( compressive ) Note that the stress born by the cortical bone decreases from 6.6 MPa to 1.7 MPa, and the strain in the bone drops from 0.039% to 0.01%. 53

[Solution] Problem 13 Consider the following system, which consists of a bar with constant diameter of 80 mm, but made of two different materials. The bar is fixed between two immovable walls at A and C, and a load P = 100 kN is applied at D. Source: Introductory Mechanics of Materials (via YouTube) (2017) Answer the following questions: a) Show that the system is statically indeterminate. If we do a force balance in the axial direction (let’s call it the x-direction), we have 3 forces: the reaction force at A, the reaction force at C, and the intermediate axial load P = 100 kN: F x = 0 → A x + C x 100 kN = 0 Since this is the only equation of equilibrium we can write for the system, it is statically indeterminate. b) Write an appropriate equation of compatibility that would allow you to solve this system. Since the walls at A and C are fixed and immovable, the total change in length of the entire system must be 0. We observe that this statically indeterminate system is also one that needs to be segmented, because of the change in material at B and the load P . Therefore, we can write our equation of equilibrium as: δ total = 0 = δ AB + δ BD + δ DC Since the walls at A and C are fixed and immovable, the total change in length of the entire system must be 0. We observe that this statically indeterminate system is also one that needs to be segmented, because of the change in material at B and the load P . c) What are the internal forces in the two bars (AB and BC)? 54

The key to this problem is two-fold: (1) the reaction forces @ A and C are both acting to the right, in opposition of the force P, and (2) the reaction forces are related to the internal forces in the 3 segments: A x + C x 100,000 N = 0 C x = 100,000 N A x A x = N AB A x = N BD C x = N DC So now that we have segmented the system and equated the internal forces to the reaction forces @ the wall, we can use our equation of compatibility and, assuming the segments are linear elastic, prismatic bars subjected to uniaxial load , to solve for A x and C x (and therefore the internal forces in each segment): δ AB + δ BD + δ DC = 0 N AB L AB E AB A + N BD L BD E BC A + N DC L DC E BC A = 0 A x ( 600 mm ) 101,000 MPa A x ( 200 mm ) 200,000 MPa + ( 100,000 N A ¿¿ x )( 200 mm ) 200,000 MPa = 0 ¿ A x = N AB = N BD = 12,600 N 55

C x = N DC = 87,400 N [Solution] Problem 14 The vertebral bodies in the lumbar spine are subjected to axial compressive forces during a variety of everyday activities. Consider a simple model of a vertebral body consisting of the following: Two endplates of cortical bone ( E = 15 GPa), with cross-sectional area A = 283 mm 2 and length L = 1 mm. A centrum of trabecular bone ( E = 700 MPa) with cross-sectional area A = 226 mm 2 , surrounded by a cortical bone shell of cross-sectional area A = 57 mm 2 . The centrum and cortical shell have a length L = 26 mm. If the entire vertebral body is subjected to a uniaxial compressive force of 600 N, determine the following (remember to show your work and state assumptions): a) Internal normal forces in the two endplates, the centrum, and the cortical shell (surrounding the centrum) This is another segmented system, where one of the segments is actually a statically indeterminate system. We note that there are 3 segments due to material changes: the two endplates and the centrum / cortical shell combo: 56

From the FBDs, we see that the internal normal forces in the endplates equal the applied 600 N compressive force : N 1 = N 3 = 600 N However, for the 2 nd segment (the centrum / cortical shell combo), we have two unknown internal forces that must oppose the 600 N applied load; however we have no other equations to solve for the forces at the moment: N centrum + N shell = 600 N Thus it is a statically indeterminate system. To solve this conundrum, we first state an equation of compatibility: δ = δ centrum = δ shell Now we assume linear elasticity , which allows us to turn the equation of compatibility into a second equation incorporating our two unknown internal forces: δ centrum = δ shell N centrum L E trab A centrum = N shell L E cort A shell We solve for one of the internal forces in terms of the other, then substitute back into our original balance of forces equation for solve for both internal forces: N centrum = ( 700 MPa ) ( 226 mm 2 ) ( 15,000 MPa ) ( 57 mm 2 ) N shell = 0.185 N shell 57

N centrum + N shell = 1.185 N shell = 600 N N shell = 506.3 N N centrum = 93.7 N As expected, most of the compressive force is resisted by the cortical bone shell. b) Total change in length of the vertebral body To find the total change in length of the vertebral body, we use our equation for the change in length of a segmented bar: δ Total = i = 1 3 δ i = i = 1 3 N i L i E i A i Importantly, for the 2 nd segment (the centrum / cortical shell combo), we can use the values for either the shell or the centrum, since both will deform the same amount (as we stated in our equation of compatibility in the previous section). We also note that all the internal forces are compressive (from our FBDs), and therefore are negative: δ Total = ( 600 N ) ( 1 mm ) ( 15,000 MPa ) ( 283 mm 2 ) + ( 93.7 N ) ( 26 mm ) ( 700 MPa ) ( 226 mm 2 ) + ( 600 N ) ( 1 mm ) ( 15,000 MPa ) ( 283 mm 2 ) δ Total =− 0.015 mm 58

[Solution] Problem 15 Fixation plates are sometimes used to keep bone fractures in union during healing. Consider a situation where a healing humerus is subjected to tension (e.g., when someone lifts something heavy). The fixation plate is modeled by the intermediate axial loads: The normal portions of the humerus have E = 18 GPa. The callus has E = 5 GPa. The cross- sectional area over the entire humerus is a relatively constant A = 710 mm 2 . Answer the following questions (remember to show your work): a) What is the total change in length of the humerus? Assumptions: Bone and callus are linear elastic materials Bone and callus are homogeneous materials Bone and callus are isotropic materials Each segment is a prismatic bar Each segment is experiencing uniaxial force We observe that the system can be broken up into 5 segments: the two regions between the end applied and intermediate loads, the two regions between the intermediate loads and the callus, and the callus itself. Through free body analysis, we can show that the 1 st and 5 th segments experience N = 200 N (tension), while the central 3 segments experience N = 40 N (compression). Using this information, we can compute the total change in length of this system: δ total = i = 1 5 δ i = i = 1 5 N i L i E i A i 59

Since the 1 st and 5 th segments, as well as the 2 nd and 4 th segments, behave identically, I will lump together those segments when computing the change in length: δ total = 2 ( 200 N )( 105 mm ) ( 18,000 MPa )( 710 mm 2 ) 2 ( 40 N ) ( 40 mm ) ( 18,000 MPa ) ( 710 mm 2 ) ( 40 N ) ( 30 mm ) ( 5,000 MPa ) ( 710 mm 2 ) δ total = 2 ( 0.001643 mm ) 2 ( 0.000125 mm ) 0.000338 mm = 0.002698 mm b) To keep the healing fracture in union, the central segment of the humerus must remain under a small amount of compression. Is the healing fracture under compression in this case? Since the callus is experience 40 N of compressive force (resulting in δ = -0.000338 mm), we can state that yes, the healing fracture is under compression. 60

[Solution] Problem 16 Most hip implant stem components have a gradual taper. Let us consider a titanium alloy ( E = 100 GPa) stem component with L = 128 mm with a tapering rectangular cross-section. The width of the cross-section is a constant w = 7 mm, but the thickness t tapers from 20 mm (at x = 0 mm) to 6 mm (at x = 128 mm). We can describe the cross-sectional area A(x) as a function of x (position along the length of the stem): A ( x ) = w∙t ( x ) =− 0.76563 x + 140 In this case, A(x) is in units of mm 2 if x is inputted in units of mm. If a uniaxial compressive force F = 500 N is applied to the tapered stem, determine its total change in length. Assumptions Uniaxial force Gradual change in cross-sectional area Linear elastic material Isotropic material Homogeneous material If the cross-sectional area changes in a sufficiently gradual way, we can use an integral equation to compute the change in length: δ = 0 128 mm F EA ( x ) dx Since F and E are constants, we can move them outside the integral: δ = 500 N 100,000 MPa 0 128 mm dx 0.76563 x + 140 I put this into a symbolic integrator (e.g., Wolfram Alpha, MATLAB) to evaluate the integral and find the total change in length: δ = ( 500 N 100,000 MPa ) ( 1.57255 mm 1 ) =− 0.00786 mm Note that the change in length must be negative because the applied force is compressive. 61

[Solution] Problem 17 For large bone defects (e.g., after removal of a bone tumor), surgeons sometimes use fibular grafts to fill the gap.  The surgeon removes a large segment of the fibula (which has relatively limited weight bearing function in our lower leg), and transplants that segment into the bone needing repair. Consider a situation where a fibular graft is used to fill a large defect in the humerus (upper arm bone).  A simplified diagram of the system look as follows: You know the following information: The cross-sectional area of the humerus (for both humeral segments) is  A humerus  = 315 mm 2 The cross-sectional area of the fibular graft is A fibula = 200 mm 2   F biceps  = 400 N F elbow  = 1500 N E bone  = 20 GPa The lengths are as shown on the diagram Given this information, answer the following questions (remember to show your work): a) State any relevant assumptions. Assumptions Bone is a linear elastic material Bone is a homogeneous material Each segment is a prismatic bar Each segment is subjected to uniaxial load b) What is F shoulder ? We can do a simple force balance to find F shoulder : F biceps + F shoulder F elbow = 0 400 N + F shoulder 1500 N = 0 F shoulder = 1100 N 62

c) How many segments are there? Because of the intermediate axial load applied the biceps and the change in cross-section of the fibular graft, there are four (4) segments. d) What are the internal normal forces in each segment? Here we use a series of free body diagrams to isolate and solve for the internal forces N in each segment: N 1 = F shoulder = F elbow F biceps = 1100 N ( compression ) N 2 = F biceps + F shoulder = F elbow = 1500 N ( compression ) N 3 = F biceps + F shoulder = F elbow = 1500 N ( compression ) N 4 = F biceps + F shoulder = F elbow = 1500 N ( compression ) e) What is the total change in length, in millimeters, of the entire system (make sure you use the correct sign)?  Since the system is segmented, the total change in length is equal to the sum of the individual changes in length: δ total = i = 1 4 δ i = i = 1 4 N i L i E i A i Remember to account for whether a segment is undergoing compression or tension – in this case, all segments are under compression. Therefore, we need to account for this when summing together the individual changes in length. You also need to get the units correct (e.g., if you change everything to N, mm, and MPa, the result will be in mm): δ = ( 1100 N ) ( 10 mm ) ( 20 e 3 MPa ) ( 315 mm 2 ) ( 1500 N ) ( 60 mm ) ( 20 e 3 MPa ) ( 315 mm 2 ) ( 1500 N ) ( 120 mm ) ( 20 e 3 MPa ) ( 200 mm 2 ) ( 1500 N ) ( 130 mm ) ( 20 e 3 MPa ) ( 315 mm 2 ) =− 0.092 mm 63

We can write an equation of equilibrium for the portion of the implant that has a porous tantalum outside and a solid titanium core: F = N Ti + N Ta c) Write an appropriate equation of compatibility for the statically indeterminate portion of the system. Since the second segment of the implant is statically indeterminate, we need an equation of compatibility to solve for the internal forces in the tantalum and titanium compartments. If we assume perfect bonding (a.k.a. well bonded or something about it being well attached in some way) , we can write the following equation of compatibility: δ Ti = δ Ta d) Determine the relationship between the internal normal forces in the porous tantalum exterior and the titanium core. Using our assumptions from part (a), we can substitute relationships for the change in length of each compartment, giving us the following: N Ti L E Ti A Ti = N Ta L E Ta A Ta Simplifying and solving for one force in terms of the other (I solved for the internal force in the titanium core, but it does not matter which you choose), we get: N Ti = E Ti A Ti E Ta A Ta N Ta N Ti = E Ti A Ti E Ta A Ta N Ta = ( 100 GPa )( 5 mm 2 ) ( 10 GPa )( 7 mm 2 ) N Ta = 7.143 N Ta e) Determine the applied force F necessary to cause the indicated total change in length δ = - 0.0015 mm. Now that we have found the relationship between the internal forces in part d, we can figure the value of the uniaxial compressive force F . First we note that this is a segmented system: δ total = δ cap + δ core exterior For the second segment, since each part deforms the same as the other, we can either use the change in length of the titanium core OR the tantalum exterior – BUT not both. Since we are given the total change in length, we can use that to solve for the force F. Our first step is to figure out the internal force in the second (statically indeterminate) segment as a fraction of F : 65

[Solution] Problem 19 An osteosarcoma (bone tumor) is removed from a patient’s tibia, leaving a large defect in the patient’s bone. The surgeons use an experimental bioactive ceramic scaffold to replace the defect, press fitting it into the space left behind, as shown: The bone has a shear modulus G = 4 GPa, and the ceramic has a shear modulus G = 1 GPa. Assume both the bone and the scaffold can be modeled as solid circular bars with radius 1.2 cm , and an external torque T = 60 N-m is applied as shown. a) What is the angle of twist of the repaired tibia? Assumptions Circular prismatic bars (each segment) Isotropic, homogeneous, linear elastic materials (bone, ceramic) By inspection or using a FBD, we can see that the internal torque in each segment must equal T, or 60 N-m. Then we calculate our polar moment of inertia: I p = π ( 0.012 m ) 4 2 = 3.26 x 10 8 m 4 Now we can calculate the total angle of twist by segmenting the system into 3 segments, determining the angle of twist for each, and summing them together: ϕ = i = 1 3 T i L i G i ( I p ) i = 60 N m 3.26 x 10 8 m [ 0.17 m 4 x 10 9 Pa + 0.02 m 1 x 10 9 Pa + 0.17 m 4 x 10 9 Pa ] = 0.193 rad ( 11.1 ° ) b) What is the maximum shear strain in the ceramic scaffold, and where does it occur? ϕ = TL G I p = ( 60 N m )( 0.02 m ) ( 1 x 10 9 Pa )( 3.26 x 10 8 m ) = 0.037 rad 67

[Solution] Problem 20 After fracture of the tibia, a callus forms around the fracture site, consisting of a mixture of woven bone and cartilage. Over time, the callus is replaced with normal, organized bone tissue (called lamellar bone) that is much stronger than the temporary callus. Let us consider a tibia with a healing callus. The callus has a larger radius than the normal tibia, but is composed of more compliant woven bone: Let us assume that both the cortical bone of the normal tibia and the woven bone of the callus are linear elastic materials with G cortical = 4 GPa and G woven = 0.2 GPa. The proximal and distal tibia are circular prismatic bars with radius r = 12 mm. The callus is also a circular prismatic bar, with radius r = 15 mm. The entire tibia is subjected to end-applied torques T , as shown above. In response, the entire system twists a total of 1 o (0.0175 rad). Based on these simple model assumptions and parameters, answer the following questions (remember to show your work and state additional assumptions): a) What is the applied torque T ? We observe that this is a non-uniform torsion scenario arising from the change in material properties and radius of the callus compared to the normal segments of the tibia. We also note that there are no intermediate applied torques, so the internal torque in each segment (there are 3) will be equal to the applied torque T. Therefore, we can use our equation for segmented torsional systems. I have numbered the segments 1-3, going from left to right in the diagram: ϕ = i = 1 n ϕ i = i = 1 n T i L i G i ( I P ) i 0.0175 = T 1 L 1 G 1 ( I P ) 1 + T 2 L 2 G 2 ( I P ) 2 + T 3 L 3 G 2 ( I P ) 2 = T [ L 1 G 1 ( I P ) 1 + L 2 G 2 ( I P ) 2 + L 3 G 2 ( I P ) 2 ] We can now evaluate all the terms and solve for T. We also need to calculate the polar moments of inertia for the tibial and callus segments. Note: you have the option of simplifying this equation by combining terms 1 and 3, i.e., essentially treating this as a 2 segment system with the normal parts of the tibia combining into one segment (with L = 32 cm) and the callus the other segment. This is not a necessary step, but it is a valid one. 69

I P, 1 = I P, 3 = π r 4 2 = π ( 0.012 m ) 4 2 = 3.257 x 10 8 m 4 I P, 2 = π r 4 2 = π ( 0.015 m ) 4 2 = 7.952 x 10 8 m 4 0.0175 = T [ 0.18 m ( 4 x 10 9 Pa )( 3.257 x 10 8 m 4 ) + 0.06 m ( 2 x 10 8 Pa )( 7.952 x 10 8 m 4 ) + 0.14 m ( 4 x 10 9 Pa )( 3.257 x 10 8 m 4 ) ] T = 0.0175 0.006229 N 1 m 1 = 2.81 N m b) What is the maximum shear stress in the callus and where does it occur? Now that we have determined the applied torque T in part a, we can use the torsion formula to find the max shear stress in the callus. Note that the internal torque in the callus is equal to T . Alternatively, one could use one of the other provided equations, for example calculating the angle of twist of the callus, determining the max shear strain, and using G to find the max shear stress. The torsion formula is the most direct option: τ max = Tr I P = ( 2.81 N m )( 0.015 m ) 7.952 x 10 8 m 4 = 530,055 Pa = 530.055 kPa This maximum shear stress occurs on the cross-section of the callus, at the surface of the callus (maximum radius, r = 0.015 m = 15 mm). c) What is the maximum tensile normal stress in the callus and where does it occur? From our stress transformation equations, we know that the maximum absolute value of the normal stress occurs on sections at ±45 o . We also know that the magnitude is equal to the maximum shear stress, calculated in part b. Alternatively, we can use the equation for normal stress on inclined sections (for pure shear / torsion) to calculate this. Either approach is fine. σ max = 530.055 kPa σ θ = τ sin 2 θ = ( 530.055 kPa ) sin ( 90 ° )= 530.055 kPa Therefore, the maximum tensile normal stress is 530.055 kPa, occurring on an inclined section at ±45 o (depending on whether you defined the shear stress as positive or negative) at the surface of the callus. 70

[Solution] Problem 21 Two vertebral bodies and an intervertebral disc in the lumbar spine are pictured: They are subjected to a torque T and the whole spine segment experiences an angle of twist = 7 o . Assume the vertebral bodies ( G = 4 GPa) and the intervertebral disc ( G = 50 kPa) are solid circular bars made of linearly elastic materials. Answer the following questions: a) What is the internal torque in the intervertebral disc? Since there are no other torques or loads applied to the spine segment, the internal torque in the disc, as well as the two vertebral bodies, must be equal to the applied torque T. To solve for the applied torque T, we can use our formula for determining the angle of twist of a bar made up of prismatic segments: ϕ = i = 1 n ϕ i = ¿ i = 1 n T i L i G i ( I P ) i ¿ Since T i = T for all segments, we can bring that outside of the summation, and solve for T (incidentally, the polar moment of inertia also does not change with segment, as all the segments have the same cross-sectional geometry): ϕ = i = 1 n T i L i G i ( I P ) i = T I P i = 1 3 L i G i →T = ϕ I P i = 1 3 L i G i T = ( 7 ° ) π ( 21 mm ) 4 2 ( 30 mm 4 GPa + 11 mm 50 kPa + 30 mm 4 GPa ) 71

At this point, you could observe that, because of the huge difference in shear modulus between the vertebral bodies and the intervertebral disc, the disc is going to be doing almost all of the twisting. This is evident by the denominator of the above equation, where 11 mm/50 kPa >> 30 mm/4 GPa (by 5 orders of magnitude). Thus, we can actually assume that the intervertebral disc twists, and the vertebral bodies experience negligible twist. T = ( 7 ° ) π ( 21 mm ) 4 2 ( 11 mm 50 kPa ) = ( 50 kPa ) ( 0.1222 rad ) π ( 21 mm ) 4 22 mm = 0.17 N m b) What is the applied torque T ? As we noted above, the internal torque in each segment must equal the applied torque, so it follows that T = 0.17 N-m. c) What is the angle of twist of the intervertebral disc? Again, we assumed that the disc does almost all the twisting, so the total angle of twist is equal to the angle of twist of the intervertebral disc = 7 o . d) What is the maximum tensile stress in the first (upper) vertebral body? Since the vertebral bodies are experiencing negligible torsion, their shear strain is effectively 0 and thus no stresses are developed in the vertebral bodies—this is based on the assumption I made earlier. However, a very small strain times a very large shear modulus can still give you a measurable amount of stress. If you calculate it explicitly, you would get the following: τ max = Tr I P = ( 0.17 N m ) ( 21 mm ) 0.5 π ( 21 mm ) 4 = 11686 Pa = 11.69 kPa σ θ ( θ = 45 ° ) = σ max = τ max = 11.69 kPa e) What is the maximum shear stress in the intervertebral disc? While the shear stress in the disc is the same value, it has a much greater impact on the disc, since it has a much, much lower shear modulus: τ max = Grϕ L = ( 50 kPa ) ( 21 mm ) ( 0.1222 rad ) 11 mm = 11665 Pa = 11.67 kPa 72

[Solution] Problem 22 We once again consider the impact of a metallic hip implant on the mechanical behavior of the upper femur. Consider the following situation, where a portion of the femur has been reamed out, and the cancellous bone has been replaced with the stem of a hip implant made of a Co-Cr-Mo superalloy (in grey): A torque T = 75 N-m is applied to the portion of the femur containing the implant. The following values are given: L = 15 cm, r 1 = 0.7 cm, r 2 = 1.4 cm, G (cortical bone) = 5 GPa, G (Co-Cr-Mo) = 87 GPa. Answer the following questions: a) What are the internal torques generated in the cortical bone and Co-Cr-Mo implant stem? This is a statically indeterminate system, because if we do a sum of moments, we obtain: M = 0 = T T bone T metal 75 N m = T bone + T metal This is the only equation of equilibrium we can write, so we need to generate an equation of compatibility and a constitutive relationship to solve this problem. First, we realize that the angle of twists of the bone and metal portions of the femur must be equal: ϕ bone = ϕ metal However, the angle of twists are also unknowns. To frame this problem in terms of the torques we want to find, we use our relationships for a linear elastic circular bar (or tube) under torsion: T bone L G bone ( I P ) bone = T metal L G metal ( I P ) metal 2 T bone G bone π ( r 2 4 r 1 4 ) = 2 T metal G metal π r 1 4 73

T bone = G bone ( r 2 4 r 1 4 ) G metal r 1 4 T metal = ( 5 GPa )[ ( 1.4 cm ) 4 ( 0.7 cm ) 4 ] ( 87 GPa ) ( 0.7 cm ) 4 T metal T bone = 0.862 T metal Now we have a second equation in terms of our two unknowns, T bone and T metal , and we can solve for the two torques: 75 N m = T bone + T metal = 0.862 T metal + T metal T metal = 75 N m 1.862 = 40.3 N m T bone = 75 N m T metal = 34.7 N m b) What are the maximum shear stresses generated in the cortical bone and implant stem? We use our equations for the maximum shear stress in terms of the internal torque: τ bone = T bone r 2 ( I P ) bone = 2 ( 34.7 N m ) ( 1.4 cm ) π [ ( 1.4 cm ) 4 ( 0.7 cm ) 4 ] = 8.59 MPa τ metal = T metal r 1 ( I P ) metal = 2 ( 40.3 N m ) ( 0.7 cm ) π ( 0.7 cm ) 4 = 74.8 MPa c) What are the maximum shear strains generated in the cortical bone and implant stem? We can quickly determine the maximum shear strains using the maximum shear stresses and the shear moduli of cortical bone and Co-Cr-Mo: γ bone = τ bone G bone = 8.59 MPa 5 GPa = 0.00172 γ metal = τ metal G metal = 74.8 MPa 87 GPa = 0.00086 d) What is the angle of twist? The angle of twist is equal for both the bone and metal portions, so we can use either set of numbers to calculate the angle of twist. In this case we will use the metal component: ϕ = TL G I P = 2 ( 40.3 N m ) ( 15 cm ) ( 87 GPa ) π ( 0.7 cm ) 4 = 0.0184 radians = 1.06 ° 74

[Solution] Problem 23 The intervertebral disc is a complex tissue that consists of two major zones: the fibrous outer ring, called the annulus fibrosus, and the gel-like center, called the nucleus pulposus. We can model the intervertebral disc as a circular tube (annulus fibrosus) filled with a concentric circular bar (nucleus pulposus), as pictured: The annulus fibrosus has a shear modulus G = 75 kPa and polar moment of inertia I P = 3.02 x 10 -7 m 4 , while the nucleus pulposus has a shear modulus G = 15 kPa and polar moment of inertia I P = 3.77 x 10 -9 m 4 . If the intervertebral disc is subjected to a 0.3 N-m externally applied torque, answer the following questions (please show all of your work): a) Write (but do not solve) the equation(s) of equilibrium, equation of compatibility, and constitutive equation(s) used to solve this system. Assumptions Circular prismatic bars (annulus, nucleus) Isotropic, homogeneous, linear elastic materials (annulus, nucleus) Annulus and nucleus are perfectly bonded at their interface Equation of equilibrium: M = 0 0.3 N m = T AF + T NP Equation of compatibility: ϕ total = ϕ AF = ϕ NP Constitutive equations (assuming the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus are linear elastic materials undergoing pure torsion): ϕ AF = T AF L G AF ( I p ) AF ϕ NP = T NP L G NP ( I p ) NP 75

b) What is the angle of twist of the entire intervertebral disc? We combine the equation of compatibility with our constitutive equations to find the torque in one portion of the intervertebral disc as a function of the other: T AF L G AF ( I p ) AF = T NP L G NP ( I p ) NP →T AF = G AF G NP ( I p ) AF ( I p ) NP T NP T AF = ( 75 kPa 15 kPa ) ( 3.02 x 10 7 m 4 3.77 x 10 9 m 4 ) T NP = 400.5 T NP 0.3 N m = 400.5 T NP + T NP T NP = 0.00075 N m;T AF = 0.29925 N m Now we use one of the torques to find the angle of twist of the disc. ϕ = ϕ AF = T AF L G AF ( I p ) AF = ( 0.29925 N m )( 0.009 m ) ( 75000 Pa )( 3.02 x 10 7 m 4 ) = 0.119 rad ( 6.8 ° ) We can note that the annulus fibrosus bears the vast majority of the torque and effectively determines how the intervertebral disc responds to torsional loading in this model. c) What are the normal and shear stresses acting on the surface of the annulus fibrosus at 25 o to the longitudinal axis? First we need to find the shear stress acting on the cross-section of a stress element at the surface of the annulus fibrosus: τ max = Grϕ L = ( 75 kPa )( 21 mm )( 0.119 rad ) ( 9 mm ) = 20.825 kPa If we draw a stress element representing the state of stress on the surface of the annulus, setting the x-direction as the longitudinal axis, we get the following picture (the stress element varies depending on how you define your axes): 76

The state of stress is pure shear (since this is pure torsion). Now we can use our equations for stress transformations, noting that we only have the xy-shear stress component: σ x 1 = σ x + σ y 2 + ( σ x σ y ) 2 cos 2 θ + τ xy sin 2 θ = ( 20.825 kPa ) sin 2 ( 25 ° ) =− 16.0 kPa σ y 1 = σ x + σ y 2 ( σ x σ y ) 2 cos2 θ τ xy sin 2 θ =− ( 20.825 kPa ) sin 2 ( 25 ° ) = 16.0 kPa τ x 1 y 1 = ( σ x σ y ) 2 sin 2 θ + τ xy cos2 θ = ( 20.825 kPa ) cos2 ( 25 ° ) =− 13.4 kPa 77

[Solution] Problem 24 The intervertebral disc is a complex structure that consists of two major zones: the fibrous outer ring, called the annulus fibrosus, and the gel-like center, called the nucleus pulposus. We can model the mechanics of the intervertebral disc by treating it as a circular tube (annulus fibrosus) filled with a concentric circular bar (nucleus pulposus), as pictured: We model both the annulus fibrosus ( G = 60 kPa) and nucleus pulposus ( G = 15 kPa) as linear elastic materials. The disc is subjected to an applied torque T = 0.1 N-m. Answer the following questions (remember to state assumptions): a) What is the maximum shear stress in the annulus fibrosus? b) What is the maximum shear stress in the nucleus pulposus? This is a statically indeterminate system and should be solved as such: T = T AF + T NP There are primarily two approaches to solving this problem – one is an exact solution, and the other is an approximation based on the significant difference in torsional rigidities of the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus. First we identify an equation of compatibility: ϕ = ϕ AF = ϕ NP Next, we assume that each part of the disc behaves like a linear elastic, prismatic bar under pure torsion, allowing us to write the following constitutive equations: ϕ AF = T AF L G AF ( I p ) AF AP = T NP L G NP ( I p ) NP We will need to calculate the polar moment of inertias for each tissue: ( I p ) AF = π 2 [ ( 0.021 m ) 4 −( 0.007 m ) 4 ] = 3.017 x 10 7 m 4 78

( I p ) NP = π 2 ( 0.007 m ) 4 = 3.771 x 10 9 m 4 Combining the equation of compatibility and the constitutive equations, we obtain the following: T AF L G AF ( I p ) AF = T NP L G NP ( I p ) NP T AF = G AF ( I p ) AF G NP ( I p ) NP T NP = ( 60 kPa )( 3.017 x 10 7 m 4 ) ( 15 kPa )( 3.771 x 10 9 m 4 ) T NP T AF = 320 T NP We can then combine the original moment balance equation to find the internal torques in each tissue: T = T AF + T NP = 320 T NP + T NP = 0.1 N m T NP = 0.000312 N m T AF = 0.09969 N m Now that we have calculated the internal torques, we can use the torsion formula to find the maximum shear stresses in each tissue. Alternatively, you could calculate the angle of twist, find the maximum shear strain, and use the shear modulus of each tissue to find the maximum shear stress: τ max = Tr I p τ AF = ( 0.09984 N m )( 0.021 m ) 3.017 x 10 7 m 4 = 6939 Pa = 6.939 kPa τ NP = ( 0.000312 N m )( 0.007 m ) 3.771 x 10 9 m 4 = 579 Pa = 0.579 kPa Alternative solution There is also an approximate solution which would be acceptable. To use this approximation, we first need to calculate the torsional rigidity of the two tissues: G AF ( I p ) AF = ( 60,000 Pa ) ( 3.017 x 10 7 m 4 ) = 0.0181 N m 2 G NP ( I p ) NP = ( 15,000 Pa ) ( 3.771 x 10 9 m 4 ) = 0.000057 N m 2 79

We observe that the torsional rigidity of the annulus is 320 times greater than the nucleus. This means that the applied torque ≈ internal torque in the annulus. We can use this approximation to find the angle of twist: ϕ = T AF L G AF ( I p ) AF = ( 0.1 N m )( 0.009 m ) ( 60,000 Pa )( 3.017 x 10 7 m 4 ) = 0.0497 We can plug that angle of twist into another equation to find the maximum shear stresses in the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus: τ AF = Grϕ L = ( 60,000 Pa )( 0.021 m )( 0.0497 ) 0.009 m = 6958 Pa = 6.958 kPa τ NP = Grϕ L = ( 15,000 Pa ) ( 0.007 m ) ( 0.0497 ) 0.009 m = 580 Pa = 0.580 kPa A very important note: even though we approximate that the internal torque in the nucleus is very close to 0, we cannot say the shear stress is zero. 80

[Solution] Problem 25 Consider the following statically indeterminate torsional system, consisting of two circular bars perfectly bonded to each other (at location B) and to two immovable walls at locations A and C. The bars are made entirely of a titanium alloy, G = 45 GPa: As pictured, the system is subjected to an intermediately-applied torque T = 10 N-m at location B. Based on the above diagram, determine the maximum shear stress in each segment of the bar (remember to show your work and state your assumptions). We first draw a free body diagram that includes the reaction moments generated at locations A and C, and after writing the moment balance equation, confirm that this is a statically indeterminate system. In addition, we can draw free body diagrams to find the internal torques in each segment. At this point, we do not know definitively the directions of the reaction (and therefore) internal torques: T A + T C + 10 N m = 0 T AB = T A T BC = T C 81

Now we need to write a valid equation of compatibility. In this case, since the walls at A and C are fixed, the total angle of twist of the system must be zero. In other words, the angle of twists of the two segments must cancel out: ϕ AB + ϕ BC = 0 If we assume the bars are made of a linear elastic material , we can use our equations for torsion to describe how each segment twists, and substitute in those equations: T A L AB G I P , AB T C L BC G I P, BC = 0 Going back to our free body diagram above, we note that the torques acting on each segment result in angles of twist in different directions. Thus, for the time being, the directions of reaction and internal torques are consistent with our equation of compatibility. Now we can solve for one torque in terms of the other: T A = I P, AB I P, BC L BC L AB T C I P, AB = π r 4 2 = π ( 0.1 m ) 4 2 = 0.000157 m 4 I P, BC = πr 4 2 = π ( 0.05 m ) 4 2 = 9.817 x 10 6 m 4 T A = ( 0.000157 m 4 ) ( 9.817 x 10 6 m 4 ) ( 0.6 m ) ( 0.4 m ) T C T A = 24 T C Now we substitute back into our original moment balance equation to find the unknown reaction torques (and therefore the internal torques in each segment): T A + T C + 10 N m = 0 24 T C + T C =− 10 N m T C =− 0.4 N m T A =− 9.6 N m The negative signs in front of both reaction torques tells us that our free body diagram is wrong, and we need to reverse the direction of the reaction (and internal) torques to make the situation consistent with our balance equations: 82

Now that we’ve found the reaction torques (and by extension, the internal torques in the two segments), we can now find the maximum shear stress in each segment of the bar using the torsion formula: τ max = Tr I P τ max, AB = T A r I P , AB = ( 9.6 N m )( 0.1 m ) 0.000157 m 4 = 6,115 Pa τ max, BC = T A r I P, AB = ( 0.4 N m ) ( 0.05 m ) 9.817 x 10 6 m 4 = 2,037 Pa 83

[Solution] Problem 26 The vertebral bodies in the lumbar spine are subjected to torsional loads during a variety of everyday activities. Consider the following simple model of a vertebral body: Two cortical bone endplates – G = 5 GPa, I P = 6.43 x 10 -9 m 4 , r = 8 mm, L = 1 mm A composite center composed of two compartments: o Cortical bone shell – G = 5 GPa, I P = 2.66 x 10 -9 m 4 , outer radius r = 8 mm, L = 26 mm o Trabecular bone centrum – G = 0.4 GPa, I P = 3.77 x 10 -9 m 4 , r = 7 mm, L = 26 mm When the vertebral body is subjected to external end-applied torques (as shown), the entire vertebral body experiences a total angle of twist ϕ = 0.002 radians. a) What is the magnitude T of the applied torques? We first observe that this is a segmented system that consists of 3 segments: (1) the top endplate, (2) the cortical shell / centrum, and the (3) bottom endplate. Because there are only the end-applied torques T , we know that: T = T 1 = T 3 We see that segment 2 is a circular tube (of cortical bone) concentric with an inner circular bar (of trabecular bone). The balance of moments equation for this segment reads: T = T shell + T centrum Since this is the only statics equation we can write for segment 2, this is a statically indeterminate system. To figure out what is happening in segment 2, we need to first formulate an equation of compatibility : ϕ shell = ϕ centrum To make this equation useful, we need to assume that the shell and centrum are made of linear elastic materials and have circular cross-sections . This lets us use some of our derived equations for pure torsion: T shell L ( G I P ) shell = T centrum L ( G I P ) centrum 84

This equation will let us solve for one of the internal torques in terms of the other, and then in combination with the moment balance equation from earlier, write up the internal torques in terms of the unknown applied torque T (which internal torque you solve for does not matter): T centrum = ( GI P ) centrum ( G I P ) shell T shell = ( 0.4 GPa )( 3.77 E 9 m 4 ) ( 5 GPa )( 2.66 E 9 m 4 ) T shell T centrum = 0.113 T shell T = T shell + T centrum = 1.113 T shell T shell = 0.898 T Now we can use our equation for segmented bars undergoing torsion to find T : ϕ = 0.002 = i = 1 n ϕ i = i = 1 n T i L i G i ( I P ) i Since the centrum and shell twist the same amount (as described by our equation of compatibility), we can use either part when inputting the numbers for segment 2: 0.002 = T ( 0.001 m ) ( 5 E 9 Pa )( 6.43 E 9 m 4 ) + 0.898 T ( 0.026 m ) ( 5 E 9 Pa )( 2.66 E 9 m 4 ) + T ( 0.001 m ) ( 5 E 9 Pa )( 6.43 E 9 m 4 ) T = 1.1 N m b) Draw a stress element representing the state of stress in the trabecular bone centrum at a radial position of 3 mm ( ρ = 3 mm). Since each part of the vertebral body is experiencing pure torsion, we know that the centrum is experiencing pure shear. To draw the stress element, we need to calculate the shear stress at ρ = 3 mm. We can use the generalized torsion formula, but first we need the torque in the centrum: T centrum = 0.113 T shell = 0.113 ( 0.898 T ) = ( 0.113 ) ( 0.898 ) ( 1.1 N m ) T centrum = 0.112 N m Now we plug in our values: τ = I P = ( 0.112 N m )( 0.003 m ) 3.77 e 9 m 4 = 89,125 Pa = 89.125 kPa If we set the axis of rotation of the vertebral body as the x-direction, given the direction of the torques T , we can see that this shear stress will be negative. Thus, our stress element looks like: 85
