Abstract
The dynamic mechanical response of fresh human cancellous bone at low audio frequencies contains two resonance spectra. The spectral frequencies in each series have the ratios 1:4:9:16 ... n2. The frequencies are in quantitative agreement with the concept of momentum wave modes of calcium and phosphorus atoms in the lamellae, with no variable parameters.Keywords
