title: Applications of a simple theory of the acoustic motion of fibrous networks in viscous media.
abstract: 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.
