Carter and Caler have produced a 'cumulative damage' model for the fracture of bone, based on creep experiments on human bone, which has been corroborated by monotonic tensile tests on bone, loaded at various strain rates. Monotonic tensile tests on reindeer's antler, which has a lower modulus of elasticity than human bone, produce very similar results. Unlike human bone, reindeer antler always shows a large post-yield strain, and it is possible to distinguish pre-yield and post-yield behaviour. The 'final stiffness' (ultimate stress/ultimate strain) is invariant with strain rate. This is confirmation that bone fractures when a certain amount of damage has accumulated. However, reindeer antler shows a considerable post-yield increase in stress. This is difficult to accommodate in a cumulative damage model.
