Identification of the elastic symmetry of bone and other materials

S C Cowin et al. J Biomech. 1989.

Abstract

A simplified classification scheme for the elastic symmetries of a solid is applied to the identification of the elastic symmetry of a material by three different methods--visual, stereological and numerical algorithm. Each method is illustrated with an application to bone tissues, but the methods apply to all materials.
