Abstract

The role of the osteon as the basic strengthening unit of compact bone is discussed. Using previous work on the shear strength of bone, an analysis is given enabling a computation to be made of the mode-II (debonding) fracture energy. The evidence suggests that bone, like many reinforced composites, derives its excellent fracture characteristics from the existence of a week osteon-matrix interface.
