Abstract: In this study, compressive tests of the bones along the axial direction have been carried out on some wet specimens of the right femur and humerus, from which there have been obtained the elastic modulus of femur E=9.98×109N/mM2 and.’that of humerus E=11.37×109N/m2 Also comparisons and discussions have been made with reference to the available data reported abroad and at home.As indicated in this paper, bone tissues obviously possess viscoelastic properties. Their hysteresis loops are shown in Fig. 3 far and (b) and some mechanical phenomena observed during the test are illustrated elsewhere.

Key words: Padé approximant, determinantal formula, existence, integral equation
