## Abstract The effects of ^60^Co gamma irradiation on the initial mechanical properties of the composite boneβpatellar tendonβbone unit (CU) and the tendon midsubstance (TM) were studied. Frozen specimens were exposed to either 2 or 3 Mrad of gamma irradiation. Paired frozen specimens served as in
For load-bearing calcium-phosphate biomaterials, it is important to understand the relative contributions of direct physical-chemical bonding vs. mechanical interlocking to interfacial strength. In the limit of a perfectly smooth hydroxyapatite (HA) surface, a tensile test of the bone-HA interface a
## Abstract A generic finite element approach was developed to study the effect of adhesion on the mechanical response of bone cement composites and validated against literature data. The results showed that a zero friction boneβcement (PMMA) interface conditions captured the results of the experim
