Description
  • Abstract en Bone tissue is a composite material composed of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and collagen matrix. As HAp is a crystalline structure, an X-ray diffraction method is available to measure the lattice strain of HAp crystals. However, mineral particles of HAp in bone have much lower crystallinity than usual crystalline materials, which show a diffusive intensity profile of X-ray diffraction. It is not easy to determine quantitatively an infinitesimal strain of HAp from the peak position of diffusive profile. In order to improve the accuracy of strain measurement of HAp in bone tissue and to obtain reproducible results, this paper proposes an X-ray diffraction method applied to a diffusive profile for low crystallinity. This method is to estimate the lattice strain of HAp using not a peak position but a whole diffraction profile. In this experiment, a strip specimen of 28×8×2 mm was made from bone axial, outside circumferential and cross sectional circumferential region in the cortical bone of bovine femur. The X-ray diffraction measurements were carried out before and after applying an external load. As a result, the precision of strain measurement was much improved by this method. Although a constant value of macroscopic strain was applied in the specimen, the lattice strain had a lower value than the macroscopic strain and had a different value in each specimen.
