Slow Compressional Wave Propagation in Wet Human and Bovine Cortical Bone

Slow Compressional Wave Propagation in Wet Human and Bovine Cortical Bone

Ultrasonic wave propagation in bovine plexiform and human Haversian bone was studied in the range 0.5 to 15 megahertz. A new longitudinal wave was observed which traveled more slowly than the ordinary longitudinal wave. The slow wave was associated with the dynamics of fluid motion in the pores of b...

Zusammenfassung:Ultrasonic wave propagation in bovine plexiform and human Haversian bone was studied in the range 0.5 to 15 megahertz. A new longitudinal wave was observed which traveled more slowly than the ordinary longitudinal wave. The slow wave was associated with the dynamics of fluid motion in the pores of bone.
