Abstract

Recent results in mathematical modeling predicting crack behavior under various load conditions in human bones as anisotropic elastic composite materials are presented in this survey. New and interesting challenges in theoretical models of fracture were proposed and had significant importance for fracture mechanics. Our goal is to present an overview of the use and limitations of existing relevant theories. The present study aims to introduce mathematical models to researchers unfamiliar with the concepts, to improve and provide new insights into bone fracture mechanics.
