Mechanical properties of some animals' bones and biomaterials

This project was conducted to evaluate the variation of water content coupled with anatomical directions on the Young’s modulus, compressive yield stress and yield strain of tropical swine cancellous bones through mechanical testing. At 1% significance level, it was found that in the frontal anatomi...
