Abstract
The development of a method that allows the quantitative determination of the anisotropic electromechanical properties of bone as a function of the actual specific crystalline quality of the sample under consideration is reported. In order to provide means of standardization and interpretation of the variation of such properties, all measured values of the latter, from a given sample, are transformed into those corresponding to a reference standard sample with a well-defined idealized crystalline structure. The application of this method to the stiffness tensor, piezoelectric tensor, and dielectric tensor components is specifically treated in this paper.Keywords
