Acoustic emission methods applied to bone diagnostics

Materials / Orthopaedics / Signal Processing

Unsolved problem

Bone stress fractures and joint degradation produce acoustic emission signatures identical to structural micro-fracture in civil engineering. Nobody has formally bridged these disciplines.

Vitacore angle

Structural-health-monitoring acoustic emission analysis applied to orthopaedic diagnostics, with a formal signal-processing pipeline for bone AE characterisation.
