The experimental fracture toughness for a maximum load of 100 mN averaged over 10 repeated tests was 0.74 ± 0.09 MPa·m1/2. This value is consistent with the stated value for bulk fused silica, 0.79 ± 0.01 MPa
This study shows that the toughness of bone estimated using the J integral is much greater than the toughness measured using the critical stress intensity factor. We suggest that the J integral method is a better technique in estimating the toughness of bone....

Measured using the Charpy impact test similar to Impact Resistance, toughness represents a material’s ability to absorb impact without fracturing at a given temperature. Since impact resistance is often lower at low temperatures, materials may become more brittle. Charpy values are commonly prescribed...
This graph is identical to Fig. 3 Full size image Literature data of muscle tissue stiffness measured using elasticity imaging Figure 21 contains supplementary data on Shear Moduli G besides the data on Young’s moduli E from Fig. 5. Detailed information, including the type of samples and ...
the mineral density of transparent root dentin was significantly higher than normal dentin and its fracture toughness was 20% lower6. However, it is not clear whether occluded tubule lumens alone or any other alterations in intertubular dentin are responsible for the low fracture strength of aged ...
However, if the fracture occurs outside of the area in which the strain is measured, the test results must be thrown out. If using straight-sided pieces, it is a good idea to prepare multiple samples in case this happens. Figure 2 shows a finite element analysis model of tensile samples...
A second seatbelt tension- ing phase is initiated after 110 ms, as 1D seatbelt elements are again pulled in by the retractor. T rube et al. BioMedical Engineering OnLine 2021, 20(1): Page 33 of 39 Literature data of muscle tissue stiffness measured using elasticity imaging Figure...
(no friction between crack flanks) due to residual opening stress which enables measurement of shear-mode closure-free thresholds. For higher loads the average crack growth rates could also be measured by this method, however, this would require too many specimens for one crack growth curve. ...
What causes these failures (Brittle), what materials are affected, and are there any that are not? How is brittleness calculated and measured (types of measurement) and what does this mean for aircraft material selection and design considerations?
