Fracture Properties of Chicken Bones in
Hydrochloric Acid: Three Point Bending Test
Name: Lo-Lo Liu
Class: BE 210
Hypothesis: Bones that were soaked in 1M HCl will have significantly lower failure force and failure energy than bones that were not soaked in 1M HCl.
Objectives and Aims:
1) To determine the failure properties (failure force and failure energy) of bones that have been placed in 1M HCl.
2) To standardize HCl solution.
3) To become familiar with the experimental and theoretical challenges of weakening bones with HCl.
