The dynamic response of axisymmetric poroelastic bone subjected to
transient pressure along the curved surface of the cylinder is studied. In the
analysis, exact solutions that satisfy the boundary conditions are obtained by
applying Laplace transformations to the equations of motion and fluid flow. The
Laplace inversion is obtained from the residue theorem. The stress component
(sigma)[inf rr][sup *] (dimensionless) is plotted with T (dimensionless time)
for various (eta)[sup *] (dimensionless decaying parameter). It is seen that the
stresses behave alike for different (eta)[sup *]. In the region 1
