Abstract: Many methods have been used for the preparation, storage, and testing of samples in the determination of the physical properties of bone (1, 3 , 9 ) .The methods and conditions have varied or are sometimes inadequately described, so that it becomes difficult to compare the works of various authors.The desire to provide a standard method of preparation, storage, and testing of bone specimens furnished the framework of this study.Here, a summary is presented of the interim results of a continuing investigation of the physical properties of the human femoral cortex obtained from autopsy material.Some of the general mechanics terms used in the text are summarized in Appendix 1.
