Abstract

Resonant frequencies and mode shapes were assessed on 51 human tibiae of healthy persons. In the frequency range of 0 to 1000Hz, three typical resonant frequencies were identified using vibration and modal analysis. These resonant frequencies were corresponding to a rigid body mode (I) at 126 ± 16 Hz in the sagittal plane, a single bending mode (II) at 353 ± 51 Hz and a double bending mode (III) at 850 ± 62 Hz both in the medio-lateral plane.
