Slow compressional wave propagation in wet human and bovine cortical bone
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|April 29, 1983
Abstract:
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.
