The objective of this lab is to understand how density affects the fracture strength of materials. The central hypothesis is that bones which undergo decalcification will have a statistically significant lower fracture strength when compared to bones with no mineral loss.  An additional hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference between the unmodified and modified wood surrogates.  An extrapolation of this lab is to understand osteoporosis and its adverse effects by simulating similar bone deterioration.
