Abstract
This study observes the frequency contents of Lamb waves propagating in a bone and represents them in 2-d graphics. A non-contact Lamb wave measurement technique, scanning laser vibrometry, is proposed to examine a bovine cortical tibia in vitro. The Lamb waves works at the center frequency of 84KHz. Only the fundamental modes, a 0 and s 0, were expected to occur. Defining the propagating Lamb wave modes is further performed using wavelet transform analysis.
