Abstract
The relationship between the mechanical properties of trabecular bone in tension and compression was investigated by non-destructive testing of the same specimens in tension and compression, followed by random allocation to a destructive test in either tension or compression. There was no difference between Young's modulus in tension and compression, and there was a strong positive correlation between the values (R = 0.97). Strength, ultimate strain and work to failure was significantly higher in tensile testing than in compressive testing.Mesh:
