Abstract: In this paper, the wave propagation modeling in an infinite poroelastic cylindrical bone is studied. The dynamic behavior of a wet long bone that has been modeled as a piezoelectric hollow cylinder of crystal class 6 is investigated. The frequency equation for poroelastic bone is obtained when the boundaries are stress free and examined numerically. The dimensionless wave numbers are calculated for poroelastic bone for various values for non-dimensional frequencies. The dispersion curves are plotted for poroelastic and purely elastic behavior of the bones.
