Fraction of Total Displacement Attributed to Various Components of the Cement/Bone Composite Structure
Component | Tension | Compression |
---|---|---|
Contact interface/interdigitated region | 0.83 (0.19) | 0.64 (0.28) |
Cement | 0.07 (0.08) | 0.21 (0.20) |
Bone | 0.11 (0.16) | 0.15 (0.17) |
Measurements taken at maximum tension/compression stress levels during cyclic loading. Mean values for 21 specimens (standard deviation in parentheses).
