Human Bones are very important elements of human body. A bone is a rigid and brittle organ that constitutes part of the vertebral skeleton. The skeletal system is subjected to a complex System of loading exerted by the forces of gravity and the muscles attached to the bones. Such loading modes include tensile, compressive, bending, and torsional forces applied to the bones of the skeletal system. The proposed work is aimed to investigate correlation between HU, STRENGTH & BMD of humerus bone and evolution of humerus by torsion testing setup. Model of human humerus bone sample obtained from CT- scan in the form of Hounsfield Units (HU) scale and BMD obtained from Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan.
