Abstract

We outline the mathematical model of the ultrasonic response of wet cortical bone and its time harmonic formulation. We employ an energetic approach based on the Reuss-bound of the free energy of a porous material consisting of a piezo-electric solid and a conducting fluid part. Magnetic effects are taken into consideration. Corresponding boundary value problems are stated and associated theorems established. A conclusion is included concerning future developments of this formulation.} \keywords{wet bone, ultrasonic response, Maxwell equations}
