The paper provides a new model of wave propagation in long bones. The model consists of a thin piezoelectric cylinder of radius \(r_1\) and class 6, filled with an incompressible viscous fluid, and a concentric cylinder of radius \(r_0\), with \(r_0<r_1\). The smaller solid piezoelectric cylinder models the cortical bone, while the viscous liquid models the marrow. In doing so, the authors use the three-dimensional theory of piezoelectricity and linearized Navier-Stokes equations. After imposing realistic boundary conditions in cylindrical coordinates, the authors derive a system of \(22\times 22\) linear equations. The investigation of harmonic in time variations leads to the study of zeros of the corresponding determinant. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0927.00051].
