Short ultrasonic waves in cancellous bone.
A new cellular model of the propagation of short ultrasonic waves in cancellous bone is introduced. The theoretical results derived from the proposed model have been compared with the well known macrocontinual Biot's theory. Independently, the experimental results obtained by the pulse transmission method for cancellous bovine bone and a model material have been reported. The data from time and frequency domain are analyzed and discussed in light of the two-phase description developed under long and short wave assumption.
