| Abstract | The propagation of ultrasonic guided wave (GW) in the long bone is very sensitive to the bones' shapes, properties and cortical thicknesses (CTh). Most of the previous studies on the GW propagation in long bones mainly focused on the bones with uniform CTh. However, it is necessary to understand the impacts of CTh variation, such as mode conversion. Therefore, an adequate analysis on GW propagating in long bones with varying CTh is essential for the precise calibration of the quantitative measurement of it. The aim of this study is to use a modified boundary element method (BEM) to analyze the GW propagation characteristics in long bones with varying CTh. Numerical analysis implemented by the BEM and cylindrical mode expansion method was employed to calculate the transmission coefficient (TC) for various incident GW modes, frequencies, and CTh. In the cases of incident longitudinal tube modes L(0,1) and L(0,2) at frequencies 0.05 – 1.2 MHz, gradual CTh variations from 4 mm to 8 mm were considered. Mode conversion phenomena due to varying CTh were investigated. The direction of the GW propagation is very important due to significant differences in resulting mode conversion phenomena, when using the GW to assess the actual long bones. The modified BEM method used enabled the optimization of GWs for the long bone assessment. Results of this work can potentially be used to improve inspection sensitivity for the assessment of long bones with varying CTh. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
