Investigating plastic behaviour in immature bones

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering
There are many differences in mechanical properties between immature and adult bones. While adult bones have been studied extensively, particularly in relation to non-healthy ageing and the risk of fracture, there has been a lack of study on immature or young bones and their mechanical properties.
