The femur bone can withstand of force up to 51000 newtons before breaking.
The femur bone is made of a ceramic material, an anisotropic material, which means that tensive and compressive stresses are different to each other. The maximum compressive force (\(F\)), in newtons, is determined by the following formula derived from definition of uniform stress:
\(F = \sigma_{C}\cdot A_{e}\) (1)
Where:
- \(\sigma_{C}\) - Compressive stress, in pascals.
- \(A_{e}\) - Effective area, in square meters.
If we know that \(\sigma_{C} = 170\times 10^{6}\,\frac{N}{m}\) and \(A_{e} = 3.0\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}\), then the maximum compressive force is:
\(F = \left(170\times 10^{6}\,\frac{N}{m^{2}} \right)\cdot (3.0\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2})\)
\(F = 51000\,N\)
