... in select biological materials that include bone, dentitional tissues, and a variety of woods. Our results indicate that woods are an order of magnitude more anisotropic than hard tissues and apatites. Finally, based on the available data, it is found that the anisotropy in human femur increases by over 40...

... and periodic solutions for nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics using symbolic computation. By using this method, natural frequency and dynamic responses of the wood-composite beams are obtained. The existing data obtained from our published work, the grindosonic instrument, and also...
