Module 27 Example: Brittle Coulomb Mohr Theory

X
The femur bone has an outside diameter of 24 mm. The tensile
strength of the bone is Sut = 120 MPa, Suc = 170 MPa. The femur Y
is subjected to a torque of 80 N-m, and a bending moment of
100 N-m. The positive z-axis comes out of the page, and therefore
T
using the right-hand rule the bending moment will be negative.
For this example we will assume the bone is acting in a brittle M
manner, is a solid cylinder, is isotropic and linear elastic.

Find the factor of safety at point A.

Brittle Coulomb Mohr Failure conditions:

Case 1: a b 0 a Sut n = Sut/a
A
sa sb 1 sa sb
Case 2: a 0 b - 1 = -
Sut Suc n Sut Suc
Case 3: 0 a b b -Suc n = -Suc/b

Assumptions:
Isotropic, homogenous, linear elastic, brittle material, neglecting weight of bone.

Thoughts:
T results in torsional stress. At point A the torsional shear stress will be tyz.
M results in bending stress that will be maximum at the edges of the bone, the neutral plane will be
along the y-axis in the y-z plane. The stress will act in the y-direction as sy. Point A will be pulled into
torsion. Transverse shear will be 0 at point A as it is on the edge of the bone, far from the neutral axis.

Known:
d = 0.024 m, Suc = 170 MPa, Sut = 120 MPa, T = 80 N*m, M = -100 N*m.

Analysis:
Determine stresses in X, Y, and Z directions.

Mc 32M (32)(-100N * m) Note the positive value for tension,

sX = - =- =- = 73.7MPa which is what we expected.
