Problem 3: Kevin Ware broke his tibia upon landing after a jump during the NCAA tournament against Duke. Kevin's Bone has an Elastic Modulus E=15GPa, Poisson's Ratio v=0.3, and a failure stress σfail =10MPa. Assume Kevin's Tibia can be represented by a homogenous hollow cylinder of bone, with length Ltb=450 mm, and a uniform cross section with an outer radius, router =40 mm and inner radius rinner =30 mm. Ignore any effects of buckling. What failure force, FTibla, did his tibia fracture at? How much does the tibia compress before it breaks?
