Slide 9
The shear modulus
can be determined using the relation between shear modulus, stiffness,
length and polar moment of inertia outlined in the theory talk,
and in your textbooks. Note that due to the approximations made
regarding the shape of the bone, this value should be thought of
as only an approximation. Note also that one might expect G to vary
from one sample to the next due to natural variations between individual
animals.
