The mechanical properties of most biological material are directionally dependent which means their mechanical properties depend on the direction in which they are loaded. What is the mechanical term that used to describe this Phenomenon?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mechanical term used to describe this phenomenon is anisotropy which means that the material exhibits different mechanical properties in different directions. Isotropy (choice A) refers to materials with the same mechanical properties in all directions. Homogeneity (choice C) refers to materials with the same composition throughout, while non-homogeneous (choice D) refers to materials with varying composition or structure throughout.
