(Invited Paper)
ABSTRACT Ultrasonic wave propagation in human cancellous bone is considered using Biot's theory modified by the Johnson--Koplik--Dashen model for viscous exchange between fluid and structure. The transmission coefficient is derived for a slab of porous material. Experimental results for fast and slow waves transmitted through human cancellous bone samples are given and compared with theoretical predictions.
