Abstract

It is indicated that while 1700 lbs. is a realistic femur fracture load for 30-50 ms. duration impacts, the human femur can withstand higher loads for shorter duration impacts. Experimental femur fracture data from cadaver and bone specimen tests are reviewed. These data are used to develop femur load fracture tolerance as a function of impact duration.
