Predicting bone strength with ultrasonic guided waves
Recent bone quantitative ultrasound approaches exploit the multimode waveguide response of long bones for assessing properties such as cortical thickness and stiffness. Clinical applications remain, however, challenging, as the impact of soft tissue on guided waves characteristics is not fully understood yet. In particular, it must be clarified whether soft tissue must be incorporated in wavegu...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Ultrasonic Guided Waves
Introduction Compared to ultrasonic bulk waves that travel in infinite media with no boundary influence, guided waves require a structural boundary for propagation. As an example, some guided wave possibilities are illustrated in Figure 1 for a Rayleigh surface wave, a Lamb wave, and a Stonely wave at an interface between two materials.
متن کاملChirp Excitation of Ultrasonic Guided Waves (preprint)
Most ultrasonic guided wave methods require tone burst excitations to achieve some degree of mode purity. In addition, it is often desirable to acquire data using multiple frequencies, particularly during method development when the best frequency for a specific application is not known. However, this process is inconvenient and time-consuming, particularly if extensive signal averaging at each...
متن کاملWireless Nondestructive Inspection of Aircraft Wing with Ultrasonic Guided Waves
A prototype wireless guided wave inspection system is developed to inspect layered structures such as aircraft wing. The system includes a stationary antenna and an active antenna as transceivers, an on-board antenna as transponder, and PVDF comb transducers for generating and receiving ultrasonic Lamb waves. Preliminary experiments on a 0.8mm aluminium plate with a 12mm long, 50% through-wall-...
متن کاملTransverse and Oblique Long Bone Fracture Evaluation by Low Order Ultrasonic Guided Waves: A Simulation Study
Ultrasonic guided waves have recently been used in fracture evaluation and fracture healing monitoring. An axial transmission technique has been used to quantify the impact of the gap breakage width and fracture angle on the amplitudes of low order guided wave modes S0 and A0 under a 100 kHz narrowband excitation. In our two dimensional finite-difference time-domain (2D-FDTD) simulation, the lo...
