36. Zioupos P, Wang XT, Currey JD: Experimental and theoretical quantification of the development of damage in fatigue tests of bone and antler. J Biomech 1996, 29:989-1002. Damage develops in a nonlinear fashion with loading cycles. The microscopic structure of antler increases its toughness by isolating microcracks and preventing growth, without reducing strength. In antler, the rate of damage initiation declines as damage accumulates, leading to the conclusion that damage accumulation is controllable.
