What is the stress environment within bone during the healthy functioning of the skeleton?

Types of Loading on Structures Flexural (bending) forces and resulting flexural stresses

Tensile forces and resulting tensile stresses

Compressive forces and resulting compressive stresses

.

2 A Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from Allah (God) Almighty, reciting (the Qur‘an) purified pages. 3. Containing valuable books. The Noble Qur’an (98: 2-3)

The Noble Qur’an contains valuable books, which contain:

The best science in all branches of knowledge The optimal research methodology to derive knowledge The best terminology to use to describe knowledge

In the Name of Allah (God) Almighty the Most Gracious The Most Merciful

14. Allah (God) Almighty created man from a sounding clay like that of pottery. The Noble Qur’an (55: 14)

It is stated that Allah (God) Almighty created bones from a clay like material (i.e. a ceramic material)

Thus it can be concluded that bone should exhibit from a mechanical point of view the behavior of a ceramic material

Human Bone

Stress-Strain curve for human bone

Ceramic Material

Stress-Strain curve for a ceramic material

A ceramic material can be loaded in any one of these loading cases Flexural (bending) forces and resulting flexural stresses

Tensile forces and resulting tensile stresses

Compressive forces and resulting compressive stresses

In the Name of Allah (God) Almighty the Most Gracious The Most Merciful

4. Allah (God) Almighty created man in an optimal form. The Noble Qur’an (95: 4)

The optimal state for a ceramic material is the one in which it has maximum strength and stiffness

The only loading regime where a ceramic material has maximum stiffness and strength is when it is loaded in a compressive stress environment

Thus the conclusion from the Noble Qur’an is that bone should be loaded in a predominantly compressive state of stress during healthy functioning of the skeleton
