Studies on Locational Variation of Shear Properties in Cortical Bone with Iosipescu Shear Test

Abstract:

Bone material is very complex in nature due to its anisotropic and hierarchical structure. Bone is weaker in shear as compared to tension and compression therefore shear properties of bone material are important to find out. Many researchers have applied different techniques to find out shear properties of bone material but these techniques either require such type of bone specimens which are difficult to prepare or provides limited information about the shear properties. Iosipescu shear test method has been applied in the present work to find out locational variation in shear properties of cortical bone. This technique seems to be very effective for the case of bone material and require less effort as compared to the other techniques applied by the other researchers in the previous reports.
