Elasticity in Concrete01:20

Elasticity in Concrete

533
Upon subjecting concrete to moderate or high uniaxial compressive or tensile stresses, the strain response is non-linear relative to the stress applied. As the stress is removed, the resulting stress-strain curve deviates from the original path traced during loading, creating a hysteresis loop, indicative of the concrete's non-linear and non-elastic properties. Typically, a material's modulus of elasticity, which is a measure of the material's stiffness, is inferred from the linear...

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.

Residual Stresses in Bending

685
In the study of elastoplastic members subjected to bending moments, understanding the loading and unloading phases is crucial for assessing material behavior and structural integrity. During the loading phase, as the bending moment increases, the material initially responds elastically, adhering to Hooke's Law, where stress is directly proportional to strain. When the load exceeds the yield strength, plastic deformation occurs, resulting in permanent strain and deformation that remains even...

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses01:20

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

667
As discussed in previous lessons, strain energy in a material is the energy stored when it is elastically deformed, a concept crucial in materials science and mechanical engineering. This energy results from the internal work done against the cohesive forces within the material. When a material undergoes shearing stress and corresponding shearing strain, the strain energy density, which is the energy stored per unit volume, is calculated. Within the elastic limit, where the stress is...

Generalized Hooke's Law01:22

Generalized Hooke's Law

3.2K
The generalized Hooke's Law is a broadened version of Hooke's Law, which extends to all types of stress and in every direction. Consider an isotropic material shaped into a cube subjected to multiaxial loading. In this scenario, normal stresses are exerted along the three coordinate axes. As a result of these stresses, the cubic shape deforms into a rectangular parallelepiped. Despite this deformation, the new shape maintains equal sides, and there is a normal strain in the direction of the...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Ultrasound Technology

Background:

  • Quasi-static ultrasound elastography visualizes tissue mechanical properties, commonly using Axial Strain Elastograms (ASE).
  • Axial-shear strain elastograms (ASSE) offer additional features like 'fill-in' for breast lesion classification.
  • Freehand elastography often suffers from deviations from uniaxial compression, impacting ASSE interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a method for quantifying deviations from uniaxial compression in freehand elastography.
  • To establish a metric for assessing the reliability of Axial-Shear Strain Elastogram (ASSE) frames.
  • To improve the accuracy of non-invasive breast lesion classification using ultrasound elastography.

Main Methods:

  • Estimating the angle of the iso-displacement contour from axial-displacement maps.
  • Validating the angle estimation against designed values in simulations and phantom experiments.
  • Demonstrating the angle estimate's ability to detect unreliable ASSE frames in vivo breast lesion data.

Main Results:

  • The estimated angle accurately quantifies deviations from uniaxial compression.
  • The angle metric effectively identifies unreliable ASSE frames in freehand acquired data.
  • Real-time angle estimation provides operator feedback for improved data acquisition.

Conclusions:

  • The angle of the iso-displacement contour is a reliable metric for qualifying ASSE frames.
  • This real-time metric enhances the quality and interpretability of freehand elastography data.
  • The method has the potential to improve non-invasive breast lesion classification accuracy.
