Induced electric and magnetic fields due to wave propagation in a tubular bone.

Electric and magnetic fields in tubular bones induced due to the propagation of travelling axisymmetric torsional waves, are determined in the paper by accounting for the piezoelectricity, inhomogeneity and anisotropy of osseous tissues. Using the derived expressions and experimentally determined values of the involved physical constants, numerical values of the displacement and stress fields, and also the induced fields are computed for points at different locations of the bone specimen.
