Influence of a gradient of material properties on ultrasonic wave propagation in cortical bone: Application to axial transmission

The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of a spatial gradient of material properties (mass density and stiffness coefficients) of cortical bone on its ultrasonic response obtained with an axial transmission device. Therefore, a two-dimensional finite element time-domain method is derived to m...
