Three-dimensional biomechanical modeling of cylindrical bone-like porous materials subject to acoustic waves

This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) analytical solution for the acoustic response of cancellous bone-like porous materials saturated with a viscous fluid. The effect of dynamic tortuosity, especially in clinically relevant ultrasound frequency ranges, is considered to investigate the effect of viscous interaction between the fluid and solid phases. The solution includes the effects of both fast and slow longitudinal waves as well as...
