Abstract
This study investigates the impact of nanoscale collagen damage on bone fracture toughness using a bovine heat-treatment model. An in situ toughness testing technique with synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography (SRµCT) and deep learning is employed to analyze microscale crack growth in 3D. Results show that collagen damage significantly reduces macroscale toughness and post-yield properties, primarily by reducing crack deflection, a key microscale fracture resistance mechanism.
