Abstract
Ultrasonic guided-wave technologies are powerful nondestructive testing techniques to characterize bone material. This work aims to evaluate the effect due to spatial heterogeneity of bone material properties on its ultrasound response using axial transmission technique. A probabilistic model is introduced to describe the mechanical behavior of bone material. The numerical results focused on studying of FAS (First Arriving Velocity) showing that this quantity strongly depends on the dispersion induced by statistical fluctuations of stochastic elasticity field.
