Breaking Bones through Torsion

The central hypothesis for this experiment is that the failure stress will be the same in chicken legs and wings. However, a sub-aim is to study the impact that radius has on the torsion force that is required to break a bone. It is hypothesized the torsion need to reach the failure stress will increase as the radius of the bone increases. Therefore, chicken legs will require a higher torsion force to break than chicken wings will.
