Abstract
Non-destructive vibrational material testing has been used to monitor changes in chicken wing bone stiffnessas altered by a calcium deficient diet. A mechanical inertance spectrum was obtained for the radii of the test birds andwas analyzed as a single degree of freedom mass-spring-damper system. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that thenatural frequency of the bone was reduced as well as the bones stiffness. Calculations of viscous parameters were notvery successful and more study is needed. Geometrical changes in the radii were determined using imaging techniquesand were used to insure that the calcium deficient diet affects the skeletal system.
