In summary the wet turkey bones are
prepared by cleaning and are kept moist until testing. Dry bones
on the other hand, are cleaned, boiled and allowed to dry for a
period of two weeks. All bones are bonded with a potting compound
into sockets that can be held in the testing machine. The samples
are analyzed as though they were circular section cylinders. The
equivalent inner and outer radii of the equivalent sections are
found by matching the cross sectional area and polar moment of inertia
of the actual cross section with the idealized, equivalent circular
section. Approximate values for the shear modulus and shear strength
of the bone can then be determined.
