Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper discusses the variation in the deformation and strength properties of compact bone tissue during torsion in various zones of the cross section of human tibia. A correlation has been found between the specific energy of deformation consumed during the loading process and the level of stress attained. The degree of correlation between the deformation and strength properties of the bone tissue has been studied as a function of the concentration of certain biochemical substances in its composition.
