Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses01:20

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

353
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...

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete

680
The dynamic modulus of elasticity assesses how a concrete structure deforms under impact or dynamic loads. It is typically higher than the static modulus of elasticity, measured under slow, steady loading conditions.
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by a...

Strain and Elastic Modulus01:15

Strain and Elastic Modulus

6.0K
The quantity that describes the deformation of a body under stress is known as strain. Strain is given as a fractional change in either length, volume, or geometry under tensile, volume (also known as bulk), or shear stress, respectively, and is a dimensionless quantity. The strain experienced by a body under tensile or compressive stress is called tensile or compressive strain, respectively. In contrast, the strain experienced under bulk stress and shear stress is known as volume and shear...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Tissue Mechanics
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Mechanical properties of tissues are crucial indicators linked to disease states.
  • Current optical coherence elastography (OCE) methods like acoustic radiation force (ARF) and piezoelectric (PZT) stack require complex alignment or can alter tissue properties.
  • A need exists for non-contact, alignment-free methods to assess tissue mechanics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a novel non-contact technique, two-dimensional dynamic vibration OCE (2D DV-OCE), for evaluating 2D wave velocities in tissues.
  • To demonstrate the capability of 2D DV-OCE to assess mechanical properties without tedious focusing alignment.
  • To compare the performance of 2D DV-OCE with established methods like ARF-OCE.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a three-dimensional (3D) Fourier transform to convert traveling waves (x, y, t) into 3D k-space.
  • Employed spatial 2D wavenumber and multi-angle directional filters to decompose omni-directional waves into four traveling directions.
  • Applied a 2D local wave velocity algorithm to generate a 2D wave velocity map.

Main Results:

  • Successfully evaluated 2D wave velocities in various phantoms (homogeneous and heterogeneous) and an ex vivo porcine kidney.
  • Demonstrated good agreement between 2D DV-OCE results and those obtained from ARF-OCE and numerical simulations.
  • Validated the accuracy and reliability of the proposed 2D DV-OCE technique.

Conclusions:

  • The developed 2D DV-OCE technique provides a non-contact and alignment-free approach for mechanical property evaluation.
  • This method shows significant potential for applications in tissue engineering and laboratory settings due to its ease of setup.
  • 2D DV-OCE offers a promising alternative for mechanical assessment in biological tissues.
