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.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
