Nature has engineered complex designs to achieve advanced properties and functionalities
through millions of years of evolution. Many organisms have adapted to their living …

Porous bone substitutes built with additive manufacturing provide an opportunity for
mimicking natural bone with complicated structures and excellent properties. However, the …

An efficient numerical method, referred to as the auxiliary differential equation (ADE)
method, is proposed to compute convolutions between relaxation functions and acoustic …

Cortical bone is a multiscale composite material. Its elastic properties are anisotropic and
heterogeneous across its cross-section, due to endosteal bone resorption which might affect …

During the last decade the possibility of investigating the details of wave phenomena with
numerical simulation has caused an evolution of the research methodology in ultrasonic …

The ultrasonic wave propagation of fast and slow waves was investigated in vitro in 35 cubic
cancellous bone specimens extracted from human femoral heads. Measurements were …

This paper considers the application of multiscale finite element method (FEM) to the
modeling of cancellous bone as an alternative for Biot's model, the main intention of which is …

This article quantitatively investigates ultrasound propagation in numerical anisotropic
porous media with finite-difference simulations in 3D. The propagation media consist of …

Dental implant stability, which is an important parameter for the surgical outcome, can now
be assessed using quantitative ultrasound. However, the acoustical propagation in dental …

Osseointegration of dental implants remains poorly understood. The objective of this
numerical study is to understand the propagation phenomena of ultrasonic waves in …
