Variability of the mechanical properties of bone, and its evolutionary consequences.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface - 22 Feb 2007

Currey John D, Pitchford Jonathan W, Baxter Paul D

Abstract excerpt

The relative variabilities (coefficient of variation (CV)) of 10 different mechanical properties of compact bone were determined from 2166 measurements. All measures of variability were made on a minimum of four specimens from any bone. Three pre-yield properties had a CV of about 12%. Six post-yield properties had CVs varying from 24 to 46%. Pre-yield properties increase as a function of mineral content, whereas...
