Applications of a simple theory of the acoustic motion of fibrous networks in viscous media.
The rupture of blood capillaries in the spinal chords of rats by pulsed ultrasound and the motion of fibrils in the corneal stroma are analysed in detail in terms of a simple theory of wave propagation in a fibrous network permeated by a viscous medium. The advantages of inelastic light scattering experiments in connection with studies of ultrasound are emphasized.
