Determination of the elastic characteristics of compact bone tissue by investigation of the natural vibration frequency

Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The dynamic elastic H and shear Gdyn moduli of compact bone tissue have been determined by investigating the natural vibration frequency of specimens obtained from long tubular human bones. The modulus of elasticity E has also been determined by conducting mechanical bending tests. The value of the H modulus is found to change in the course of storage.
