A Preliminary Numerical Study on the Interactions Between Nonlinear Ultrasonic Guided Waves and a Single Crack in Bone Materials With Motivation to the Evaluation of Micro Cracks in Long Bones

Fatigue damage in a bone occurs in the form of micro-scale cracks with the lengths as small as to a few microns. The evaluation of cracks in bones has recently been a hot topic. However, the current most frequently used method is based on traditional linear ultrasound, which is just sensitive to gro...
