Abstract
The paper deals with the development of a mathematical model for studying the distribution of stresses generated in a long tubular bone specimen due to a radiating heat source situated at a very large distance. The model is particularly suitable for examining the effect of solar radiation on long bones. The expressions for the radial and circumferential stresses derived on the basis of the mathematical analysis are computed numerically for a particular bone specimen and the variation of the stress-components with radial and angular distances are studied.
