The effect of specimen geometry on the mechanical behaviour of wet porcine trabecular bone specimens was studied by destructive uniaxial compression using cylindrical and cuboid specimens with different aspect ratios (1:1, 2:1 and 3:1) but keeping the cross sectional area constant. The coefficients...
