Fracture Mechanism and Fracture Toughness at the Interface Between Cortical and Cancellous Bone

This study observed that J integral of corticellous bone is higher than the cortical bone since more energy is required for plastic deformation of corticellous bone due to crack branches and slowdown at the interface between cortical and cancellous bone.
