Circular Shafts - Elastoplastic Materials

Circular Shafts - Elastoplastic Materials

The study of solid circular shafts under stress shows that within the elastic limit, stress increases directly to the distance from the shaft's center. This relationship holds until the shaft reaches a critical point of stress, beyond which it begins to yield, marking the transition from elastic to plastic deformation. At this crucial juncture, the maximum torque the shaft can endure without permanent deformation is determined, signifying the limit of its elastic behavior.
As torque on the...

Background:

Optical coherence elastography (OCE) is a promising technique for non-invasively assessing tissue mechanical properties.
Existing methods often face challenges with in vivo application due to excitation and imaging synchronization.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and demonstrate a novel sample arm arrangement for dynamic optical coherence elastography.
To enable simultaneous excitation and imaging for practical in vivo operation.

Main Methods:

A novel ring actuator was designed to couple sub-micrometer vibrations in the audio frequency range to samples.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to image samples subjected to controlled vibrations.
Vibration amplitude and microstrain maps were generated from OCT data.

Main Results:

The system demonstrated successful in vivo dynamic optical coherence elastography on human skin.
Distinct elastic property contrast was observed between the epidermis and dermis.
Bilayer silicone phantoms also showed measurable contrast based on elastic differences.

Conclusions:

The developed ring actuator-based system represents a practical approach for in vivo dynamic OCE.
This technique allows for non-invasive characterization of subsurface mechanical properties in biological tissues.
The findings pave the way for new diagnostic tools in dermatology and beyond.
