Abstract:
Investigations into heterogeneous bone cracking during laser drilling are limited. This work investigated the crack propagation and inhibition mechanism in laser bone drilling. Effects of input laser parameters on the stress intensity factors and the cracking trajectories concerning bone structure are analyzed. It is shown that cracks preferentially deflected along the cement line, and crack patterns were defined into three types via fractal evaluation. Stress intensity factor at a laser scanning speed of 4 mm/s (1.59 MPa·m1/2) was regulated to lower than bone fracture toughness, leading to crack size less than 100 μm while maintaining high drilling efficiency (0.23 mm3/s). © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
