Topics

Tissue mechanics

Main lesson
Bending stress in a hollow bone
Use this for “A femur shaft is a tube 30 mm across with a 16 mm canal. What stress does 100 N·m of bending cause?”

Joint forces

Main lesson
Hip force on one leg
Use this for “On one leg, how hard does the hip joint push when the abductors are half as far out as the body’s weight?”

Gait analysis

Main lesson
The phases of the gait cycle
Use this for “Put heel off, midswing, heel strike, toe off, foot flat and midstance in order. What share of the cycle is stance?”

Viscoelasticity

Main lesson
Creep in a Kelvin–Voigt solid
Use this for “A ligament model with E = 10 MPa and τ = 50 s carries 0.5 MPa. What is its strain after 100 s?”
