Abstract
Beam samples containing cranial sutures were prepared from embalmed and unembalmed cranial bone and were tested to determine their flexural stiffness and strength. With the aid of layered beam theory, the flexural stiffnesses of beams containing cranial sutures were compared to hypothetical layered cranial bone beams which did not contain sutures. The bending stiffnesses and strengths of cranial sutures were found to be generally the same as comparable layered cranial bone structures. Embalmed samples were slightly stiffer and stronger in bending than unembalmed samples.
