at Haversian canal. Possibly the Haversian system released and interrupted the
stress for their hollow structure. However, such a structure is usually so weak that it
generates cracks under stress at the same time [

]. Cracks cross layers of bone with
the dissipation of energy, which stop when energy is exhausted. The third pattern
