Abstract

In present paper we considered if temperature plays role to the growth of microcracks in a tibia due to volleyball. We dealed with three particular points of bone and we based upon theories: of adaptive elasticity and upon energy density. We showed that both: neglecting or accounting temperature after a long time tibia at points of our interest will be strengthened (the mean length of their microcracks will be decreased). The result coincides with that of corresponding problem at macroscopic area. We concluded that temperature does not effects the growth of microcracks.
