Slide 11

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.
