    Bovine trabecular bone absorbs significant energy through pore collapse after yielding. This energy absorption capacity increases with bone density, potentially protecting the brain from skeletal stress.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Orthopedic Research
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Subchondral trabecular bone is crucial for skeletal integrity and load-bearing.
    • Understanding its mechanical properties, particularly energy absorption, is vital for injury prevention and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the energy absorption mechanisms of bovine subchondral trabecular bone under high compressive strain.
    • To determine the relationship between apparent density and mechanical properties like yield strength and energy absorption capacity.

    Main Methods:

    • Cylindrical bovine subchondral trabecular bone specimens were subjected to uniaxial compressive strain up to 75%.
    • Stress-strain curves were analyzed to identify yield points and post-yield behavior.
    • Microstructural analysis was performed on deformed specimens to examine deformation mechanisms.

    Main Results:

    • Macroscopic yield was observed around 8% strain, followed by a distinct pore collapse regime.
    • Energy absorption was predominantly observed in the post-yield, pore collapse phase.
    • Both yield strength and energy absorption capacity showed a linear correlation with the apparent density of the bone specimens.

    Conclusions:

    • Fracture and buckling of trabeculae are the primary mechanisms for energy absorption in this bone tissue.
    • The findings suggest that trabecular bone collapse effectively attenuates skeletal stresses, offering protection to vital organs like the brain.
    • Bone density is a key factor influencing the mechanical resilience and energy dissipation capabilities of subchondral trabecular bone.
