| (a) |
determine the distribution of stress across the section BB assuming that
the circular section is solid bone |
| (b) |
same as (a), except that this time assume that the inner half of the bone
radius consists of “spongy” bone. Assume that the “spongy” bone does not carry any
stress. |
| (c) |
what is the percentage increase in the maximum stress of distribution (b)
compared with the maximum stress of distribution (a). |
|
(Hint: the I for circular tube is p (D4-d4)/64,
consider both the bending stress and the axial normal stress) (20%)
