SLICE

[Donna L. Korvick, V.m.d.]

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for determining the second area
moment of inertia for irregular cross sections (ie rat tibia). I've read
about a program called SLICE. I'm doing 3 point bending on rat bone and
have the option of assuming an elipitical shaped bone with a circular cross
section to determine "I" or using something like SLICE to determine "I".

Thanks for the suggestions.
