1160 Material Property of Child Bone : Part II: Bending Test of Piglet Bone

Abstract

Bending test of piglet femur bones and specimens of 2.5mm×2.5mm×46mm from the bones were done using Instron universal materials testing machine to obtain the substitute data of human child biomaterial property which is indispensable to child finite element model with high bio-fidelity. The results indicated the correlation coefficients between bending strength and femur length and between elastic modulus and femur length were 0.85 and 0.79 respectively.
