Some new developments in the rheology of bone. 1984

M Johnson, and J L Katz

Bone has been shown to be a viscoelastic material which is thermorheologically complex. This implies that multiple mechanisms determine the viscoelastic response of bone. New calculations of the contribution of fluid flow to the viscoelastic behavior of bone have been made. The calculation of the relaxation time was based on Biot's model for the relaxation of fluid flow in porous materials while the relaxation strength was estimated from simple composite models. These models together with recent measurements of the permeability of bone predict that part of the relaxation due to fluid flow will occur at fairly high frequencies, perhaps above 10 kHz for in vitro samples. Measurements of ultrasonic wave propagation and attenuation in wet bone have been performed from 0.5 MHz to 15 MHz and the mechanical damping was measured from 100 Hz to 1 kHz with fluid viscosities ranging from 10(-3) to 5 X 10(-2) (MKS). However, a complete understanding of the rheological properties of bone will require additional experiments to bridge the gap between the low frequency measurements and the ultrasonic measurements.

D004548 Elasticity Resistance and recovery from distortion of shape.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012212 Rheology The study of the deformation and flow of matter, usually liquids or fluids, and of the plastic flow of solids. The concept covers consistency, dilatancy, liquefaction, resistance to flow, shearing, thixotrophy, and VISCOSITY. Flowmetry,Velocimetry,Velocimetries
D014465 Ultrasonics A subfield of acoustics dealing in the radio frequency range higher than acoustic SOUND waves (approximately above 20 kilohertz). Ultrasonic radiation is used therapeutically (DIATHERMY and ULTRASONIC THERAPY) to generate HEAT and to selectively destroy tissues. It is also used in diagnostics, for example, ULTRASONOGRAPHY; ECHOENCEPHALOGRAPHY; and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, to visually display echoes received from irradiated tissues. Ultrasonic
