load frame and the BlueHill data acquisition software. The data from each test was used to determine valuable material properties such as ultimate tensile strength‚ modulus of elasticity‚ and yield strength. Other calculated properties included true fracture strength‚ percent reduction of area‚ and percent elongation. These material properties were used for comparing the materials to each other‚ and to define the material as brittle or ductile. The true stress and true strain were calculated for one

would be possible pelvic fractures‚ a lateral compression fracture‚ anterior posterior fracture (open book)‚ or vertical shear fracture. Also combine would be hypovolaemic shock and a pneumothorax which could possibly develop into a possible tension pneumothorax. The bony pelvis consists of the ilium (iliac wings)‚ ischium‚ and pubis‚ which form an anatomic ring with the sacrum. Disruption of this ring requires significant energy. Because of the forces involved‚ pelvic fractures frequently involve injury

more than 1.5 million fractures each year. Research have shown that women who experience hip fracture are 4 times more likely to experience another fracture. Nursing home residents fall 11 times more often than their community-dwelling counterparts(Ignatavicius 2013). It is often known as the “silent disease” because the first sign of osteoporosis in most people follows some kind of a fracture.
