Ultrasonic wave propagation in poly(vinyl alcohol) and articular cartilage

An ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique has been developed to characterize the superficial layer of articular cartilage. The technique utilizes the unique properties of surface waves to detect changes in mechanical properties of the surface layer of the test sample. Experiments wer...
