Ageing bone fractures: The case of a ductile to brittle transition that shifts with age (2019)
Journal Article
Zioupos, P., Kirchner, H. O., & Peterlik, H. (2020). Ageing bone fractures: The case of a ductile to brittle transition that shifts with age. Bone, 131, Article 115176. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2019.115176

Human bone becomes increasingly brittle with ageing. Bones also fracture differently under slow and fast loadings, being ductile and brittle, respectively. The effects of a combination of these two factors have never been examined before. Here we sho...

Evaluation of bone excision effects on a human skull model—II: Finite element analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Franceskides, C., Gibson, M., & Zioupos, P. (2020). Evaluation of bone excision effects on a human skull model—II: Finite element analysis. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 234(4), 346-355. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411919892799

Patient-specific computational models are powerful tools which may assist in predicting the outcome of invasive surgery on the musculoskeletal system, and consequently help to improve therapeutic decision-making and post-operative care. Unfortunately... Read More about Evaluation of bone excision effects on a human skull model—II: Finite element analysis.

Evaluation of bone excision effects on a human skull model – I: Mechanical testing and digital image correlation (2019)
Journal Article
Franceskides, C., Leger, T., Horsfall, I., Tozzi, G., Gibson, M., & Zioupos, P. (2020). Evaluation of bone excision effects on a human skull model – I: Mechanical testing and digital image correlation. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 234(4), 337-345. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411919891885

The mechanisms of skull impact loading may change following surgical interventions such as the removal of bone lesions, but little is known about the consequences in the event of subsequent head trauma. We, therefore, prepared acrylonitrile butadiene... Read More about Evaluation of bone excision effects on a human skull model – I: Mechanical testing and digital image correlation.

Strain rate dependence of work of fracture tests on bone and similar tissues: Reflections on testing methods and mineral content effects (2019)
Journal Article
Currey, J. D., Brear, K., & Zioupos, P. (2019). Strain rate dependence of work of fracture tests on bone and similar tissues: Reflections on testing methods and mineral content effects. Bone, 128, Article 115038. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2019.115038

This paper is concerned with the effect of different strain rate on the Work of Fracture (Wf) of various vertebrate mineralised tissues, controlling for the effect of mineral content and Young's modulus of elasticity. Using specimens of uniform shape... Read More about Strain rate dependence of work of fracture tests on bone and similar tissues: Reflections on testing methods and mineral content effects.
