Abstract: This paper deals with the in vitro analysis of bones by acousto-ultrasonic technique. The comparison has been made between normal bones and fractured bones. The significant difference between the Stress Wave Factor (SWF) of the two suggests that this technique can be used for monitoring the fracture healing process and various other bone abnormalities. The good correlation between SWF and the failure strength of the dry bone (R = 0.99) also indicates that this technique can also be applied to predict the mechanical integrity of bone. The good correlation between SWF and depth of crack indicates that the technique can also be used to measure the severity of the crack.
