In order to try to determine the nature of the mechanical structure of the mandible, the authors have compared, with the help of holographic interferometry, the behavior of the fresh mandible of a corpse, of a representative iron angle, and of a block of carbon-carbon under static constraint. There are no similarities between the behavior of the human mandible and that of a polycrystalline steel. On the contrary, the behavior of the mandible and of the carbon-carbon block are very similar. It would be hasty to state that bones are a heterogeneous composite. We can only prove, in a first approach, that they behave similarly under identical experimental conditions. The authors also demonstrated that the mandible presents a "mechanical hysteresis" phenomenon. This means that, when subjected to a small strain, its shape changes, but this change tends to neutralize itself in part in the course of time.
为了试图确定下颌骨的机械结构性质，作者借助全息干涉测量法，比较了尸体新鲜下颌骨、代表性铁角以及碳 - 碳块在静态约束下的行为。人类下颌骨的行为与多晶钢的行为之间没有相似之处。相反，下颌骨和碳 - 碳块的行为非常相似。断言骨骼是一种非均质复合材料会很草率。我们只能在初步研究中证明，它们在相同实验条件下表现相似。作者还证明下颌骨呈现出“机械滞后”现象。这意味着，当下颌骨受到小应变时，其形状会改变，但这种变化在一段时间后会部分地自我抵消。
