Abstract
Fresh rabbit femora were treated in three point bending mode at six different rates of deformation ranging from .0423 to 254 mm/sec. Various mechanical parameters like ultimate bending load, bending stiffness, and energy absorption capacity were determined. The maximum load and the stiffness increased by 50% and 46% respectively at the highest rate of deformation as compared to the lowest. The ultimate deformation and energy absorbed decreased to 47% and 50% respectively when the rate of deformation was increased from 0.0423 mm/sec to 88.6 mm/sec. At the highest deformation rate, the specimens fractured into multiple fragments, with an increase in the total failure energy.
