The strain rate dependent mechanical properties and modelling of bovine cortical bone in compression
Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 245-253). === Conventional Hopkinson bar experiments resulted in a specimen strain rate that decreases beyond reaching a maximum value at the rise time. The variation in dynamic strain rate was rectified by shaping the Hopkinson bar inpu...
