Abstract
The fracture mechanics parameter of the critical stress intensity factor (Kc) was determined by a modified compact tension test method, for the fracture of bovine tibia cortical bone at orientations of 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 75 degrees and 90 degrees to the bone axis. It was established that, for a given loading rate, a variation in orientation from 0-90 degrees produced average increases in Kc from 3.2 to 6.5 MN m-3/2.Entities:
