“…For example, a variety of human, bovine, leopard, brown bear, roe deer, king penguin, polar bear, and wallaby limb bones have the Young's modulus in the range of 16.7 to 22.9 GPa. 1,[4][5][6][7] Other studies, however, have shown that even within a single bone, the mechanical properties of the cortical bone material can have measurable site-specific variations and that these differences can be dependent upon anatomical position. Mechanical and ultrasonic studies of elastic moduli and fracture stresses have been reported for many bone samples, including human, canine, and bovine femora, equine metacarpal bones, and bovine tibiae.…”
