In this study, the elastic stiffness and the degree of anisotropy will be compared for the femur human
and bovine bones are presented. A scale for measuring the overall elastic stiffness of the bone at different
locations is introduced and its correlation with the calculated bulk modulus is analyzed. Based on constructing
orthonormal tensor basis elements using the form-invariant expressions, the elastic stiffness for orthotropic
system materials is decomposed into two parts; isotropic (two terms) and anisotropic parts. The overall elastic
stiffness is calculated and found to be directly proportional to bulk modulus. A scale quantitative comparison
of the contribution of the anisotropy to the elastic stiffness and to measure the degree of anisotropy in an
anisotropic material is proposed using the Norm Ratio Criteria (NRC). It is found that bovine femure plexiform
has the largest overall elastic stiffness and bovine has the most isotropic (least anisotropic) symmetry.
Key words: Anisotropic materials, bulk modulus , human and bovine bones, overall stiffness, , ,
