J, polar moment of inertia calculated around area centroid(standardized by body mass and element length)

ZC, section modulus relative to cortex under compression (standardized by body mass and element length), calculated as IN/ac, where IN is the second moment of area around the neutral axis NA and ac is the perpendicular distance from NA to the location of peak compression on the periosteal cortex

CA, cortical area (standardized by body mass)
