The mechanical consequences of variation in the mineral content of bone.

摘要: Abstract The relationship between the ash content of rabbits' metatarsals and their modulus elasticity, static strength, work to failure impact strength was determined. Over range contents observed elasticity increased linearly with content. energy that could be absorbed by bone material, in both dynamic loading, then decreased highest values for absorption were roughly at median value ash. It is proposed this optimum life, because bones are usually broken impact, important resisting impact. A short discussion reason rise fall given.
