Abstract
It is shown that the transmission of ultrasonic pulses in bovine trabecular bone can be adequately described using Biot's theory. The different parameters involved in this theory have been measured independently and the theoretical results have been compared with experimental data obtained on water filled samples. Although several assumptions and approximations had to be made, the correspondence between theory and experiment is satisfactory.
