Comparative performance of living and dead bony tissue under static and dynamic loading

The dependence of the mechanical properties of bony tissue on different conditions of storing the samples has been studied. As the performance characteristic under static loading we used the ultimate compressive strength of the bony tissue, and under dynamic loading we used the specific impact strength.Paper presented at the First All-Union Conference on Engineering and Medical Biomechanics, Riga, October, 1975.I.
