Dynamic Young ́s modulus of elasticity can be determined by ultrasonic pulse method and resonance method. Because of the difference in the way of introducing tension into a test specimen, the values of modulus of elasticity differ. Dynamic Young ́s modulus of elasticity measured by ultrasonic pulse method is higher; the difference stated for concrete is 5 to 20%. It was found that the dynamic Young's modulus of elasticity of calcium silicate bricks and prisms measured by ultrasonic pulse method is on average higher by 9.5% than dynamic Young's modulus of elasticity measured by resonance method. If dynamic Young's modulus of elasticity is converted to static modulus of elasticity, this difference has to be taken into account by means of appropriate coefficient.

SUMMARY 1. Paralysis, produced in young male rats by avulsion of peripheral nerves, resulted in a highly significant reduction in the total weight, ash weight, ash percentage, X-ray density and bending moment at the breaking point, of the bones of the affected limb. The breaking stress was significantly reduced, but Young's modulus of elasticity was unaltered. 2. Certain of these changes were modified by treatment with sex hormones. Both oestradiol and testosterone significantly reduced the difference between the bones of the normal and paralysed limbs in respect of total weight, ash weight and bending moment at the breaking point. 3. Treatment with oestradiol significantly increased both the ash percentage and Young's modulus of elasticity, the increase affecting equally the bones of the normal and paralysed limbs. Testosterone treatment did not significantly affect either of these properties, and neither hormone affected the breaking stress.
