Abstract

The wave phenomenon in free surface media stems from the propagation of mode grouping. Due to the nature of propagation in a given medium, this phenomenon expresses different types of dependence on the medium's properties and represents its mechanical admittance. In contrast with body wave propagation, dependencies related to surface propagation in a medium can be described by spatial-temporal characteristics. These characteristics can be obtained by performing appropriate experiments and do not require prior knowledge of the physical properties of the medium. In this study, we propose an original surface wave investigation and a phenomenological analysis approach adapted to the mechano-bio-structural states evaluation of in vivo human skin. Two objectives are sought with the method proposed: the first concerns the development of a non-invasive device for generating and tracking surface waves in human skin called Free-Skin-Surface-Wave (FSSW); the second concerns the adaptation of the Multi-Chanel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) method to evaluate the mechano-bio-structural states of human cutaneous tissue in vivo on the basis of the propagating phenomena observed. As an illustration of the proposed method application, we have done an in vivo evaluation, on intern-forearm of female volunteers population. In addition, we proposed a study of the aging effect and a comparison with ultrasound B-Mode technique, to validate the method sensitivity to follow the mechano-morphological properties of the in vivo human skin. In this study, our medium of application was human skin in vivo, but it is conceivable to extend this application to other soft biological media.
