2-Dimensional Visualizations of Lamb Waves Interaction With a Notch in a Bovine Cortical Tibia

The objectives of this study are to observe the behavior of Lamb waves upon encountering a defect in a bone and to provide 2-d visualizations of the process. For this purposes, measurements were conducted using a non-contact optical detection technique, scanning laser vibrometry. This technique produces 2-d graphics of the Lamb waves in the cortical layer of the bone.
