The Effect of Decalcification on Chicken
Bone’s Young’s Modulus and Fracture Energy
Name: Zheng Lin
Class: BE 210
Objectives:
·
To determine the failure energy and Young’s
modulus of both normal and de-calcified chicken bone by using an Instron Model
4444 materials testing machine.
·
To simulate and study the osteoporosis
conditions by comparing the fracturing properties between the normal and
decalcified chicken bone.
Hypothesis:
The fracture energy and Young’s modulus of the decalcified chicken bones will be significantly less than those of the normal chicken bones.
