Abstract
The tensile properties of the bovine femur have been investigated with different water content levels as an attempt to correlate the properties of the bone with the change in the properties of the collagen matrix with water content As the bone decreases in water content, the Young´s modulus increases and the toughness decreases. Finite element modeling of the bone matrix as a fiber-reinforced composite has been done and the variation of the Young´s modulus of the model with the water content has been discussed
