... directions, the modulus of elasticity increased with increasing strain magnitude. The mean modulus of elasticity in tension was 18.25±5.38 MPa (mean ±1 S.D., N =116; mean strain 0.25). In proximodistal shear, the mean shear modulus was 5.38±1.49 MPa ( N =76; mean shear strain 0.48) and in mediolateral shear...

... of this study is to examine whether there are regional differences in the modulus of elasticity of hoof wall material and whether such differences correlate with the pattern of deformation which occurs in vivo . The modulus of elasticity of equine hoof wall was determined in tension and compression for samples...
