Representative test data from Donor 1 vs. time: (a) measured acceleration (solid blue) and force (dashed red), (b) calculated velocity, and (c) calculated displacement. Characteristic sections used for data analysis: (I) indentor free fall, (II) compression, and (III) rebound.

Representative SHG images taken parallel to and ∼30 μm from the articular surface within impacted specimens and the corresponding image analyses of microcracks: (a), (b) original SHG images from two-photon microscope (red boxes indicate areas for subsequent analyses); (c), (d) processed binary images; and (e), (f) resulting distance maps after removal of lacunae and other non-microcrack features. Left column ((a), (c), (e)): specimen from Donor 3 after impact with 0.05 J, 0.75 m/s; right column ((b), (d), (f)): specimen from Donor 5 after impact with 0.09 J, 1.0 m/s.

Outcomes for all 108 impact tests conducted under all test conditions where specimens presenting microcracks (any presence of microfractures within the network of collagen) are shown in dark red/blue and pristine specimens are shown in light red/blue.
