Dear all,
I am working on FE modelling of bone. I note that Yamada (1970) finds the
compressive modulus of cortical bone to be around one-third of its tensile
modulus. Is this data to be relied upon?
I haven't found any literature which directly disproves this non-linear
elastic behaviour. However, many authors seem to refer to only one
longitudinal Young's modulus. Is cortical bone really this non-linear?
Many thanks to anyone who can help me.
