Wave Modes

The hollow long bones of the human appendicular skeleton are known to support the propagation of ultrasonic guided waves, whose potential for diagnosing bone health is being investigated. In this study, ultrasonic guided waves propagating in the diaphysis of human tibia are characterized experimentally and numerically in the frequency range around 200 kHz. The experiment involves a unique combination of omni-directional shear transducer-based excitation and detection using a 1D laser Doppler vibrometer. The cluster of phase velocities obtained from a linear array of time-history data using space-time Fourier transform is found to be in the non-dispersive low-phase velocity region of the dispersion curves obtained for a tibial cross-section. Time-domain finite element analysis revealed that the displacement components normal to the surface are significant, even though the loading is from a shear transducer. Furthermore, semi-analytical finite element analysis revealed that the wave structures of the wave modes contained within the cluster of low-phase velocity modes are consistent with the displacement profiles obtained from the time-domain analysis. The experimental results show that the low-phase velocity mode cluster has sufficient intensity to propagate axially at least 85 mm in the mid-diaphyseal region.

Structural Parts

Shock induced vibration can be more crucial in the mid frequency range where the dynamic couplings with structural parts and components play important roles. To estimate the behavior of structures in this frequency range where conventional analytical schemes, such as statistical energy analysis (SEA) and finite element analysis (FEA) methods may become inaccurate, many alternative methodologies have been tried up to date. This study presents an effective and practical method to accurately predict transient responses in the mid frequency range without having to resort to the large computational efforts. Specifically, the present study employs the more realistic frequency response functions (FRFs) from the energy flow method (EFM) which is a hybrid method combining the pseudo SEA equation (or SEA-Like equation) and modal information obtained by the finite element analysis (FEA). Furthermore, to obtain the time responses synthesized with modal characteristics, a time domain correction is practiced with the input force signal and the reference FRF on a position of the response subsystem. A numerical simulation is performed for a simple five plate model to show its suitability and effectiveness over the standard analytical schemes.
