This study presents new elastic velocity-effective stress laws for reservoir rocks. These models are grounded in previously established correlations between elastic modulus and porosity, which incorporate critical porosity. The accuracy of…
Elastic wave propagation provides a noninvasive way to probe granular materials. The discrete element method using particle configuration as input, allows a micromechanical interpretation on the acoustic response of a given granular system.…
Estimating the elasticity of soft tissue can provide useful information for various diagnostic applications. Ultrasound shear wave elastography offers a non-invasive approach. However, its generalizability and standardization across…
In vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of thin-walled soft tissues (e.g., mitral valve, artery and bladder) and in situ mechanical characterization of thin-walled artificial soft biomaterials in service are of great challenge and…
The quantification of the stiffness of tubular biological structures is often obtained, both in vivo and in vitro, as the slope of total transmural hoop stress plotted against hoop strain. Total hoop stress is typically estimated using the…
Dynamic elastography is a widely used, safe, convenient, and cost-effective method to aid in medical diagnosis. It visualizes the wave field propagating through living tissues and quantitatively determines the wave propagation speed from…
Mechanical properties of tissue provide valuable information for identifying lesions. One approach to obtain quantitative estimates of elastic properties is shear wave elastography with optical coherence elastography (OCE). However, given…
The ubiquitous appearance of regions of localized deformation (shear bands) in different kinds of disordered materials under shear is studied in the context of a mesoscopic model of plasticity. The model may or may not include relaxational…
The essential feature of the method is the employment of Elasto-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (EMRS) for precise local measurements of the attenuation of shear elastic waves introduced into a biological sample. Such a measurement can be…
Elastic wave propagation is intrinsically sensitive to the mechanical properties of the medium through which it travels. In soft elastomers, this makes guided elastic waves natural probes of viscoelastic and acoustoelastic behavior over a…
3D ultrasound imaging provides more spatial information compared to conventional 2D frames by considering the volumes of data. One of the main bottlenecks of 3D imaging is the long data acquisition time which reduces practicality and can…
Non-invasive vascular elastography is an emerging technique in vascular tissue imaging. During the past decades, several techniques have been suggested to estimate the tissue elasticity by measuring the displacement of the Carotid vessel…
We study the propagation of guided elastic waves in a highly-stretched Ecoflex\c{opyright} plate, a nearly incompressible elastomer. The plate is subjected to a nearly-uniaxial stress with an elongation reaching 120% and we measure in-plane…
An adhesively stressed thin film of a soft hydrogel confined between two rigid flat substrates auto-roughens with its dominant wavelength exhibiting pronounced dependence on the film thickness (H). A linear stability analysis confirmed that…
Prenatal psychological stress affects 15-25% of pregnancies and increases risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Current screening relies on subjective questionnaires (PSS-10), limiting continuous…
When stressed sufficiently, solid materials yield and deform plastically via reorganization of microscopic constituents. Indeed, it is possible to alter the micro-structure of materials by judicious application of stress, an empirical pro-…
We use supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) technique to measure not only the linear but also the nonlinear elastic properties of brain matter. Here, we tested six porcine brains ex vivo and measured the velocities of the plane shear waves…
Two dimensional simulations of non-cohesive granular matter in a biaxial shear tester are discussed. The effect of particle elasticity on the mechanical behavior is investigated using two complementary distinct element methods (DEM): Soft…
Objective: Ultrasound elastography is gaining traction as an accessible and useful diagnostic tool for such things as cancer detection and differentiation and thyroid disease diagnostics. Unfortunately, state of the art shear wave imaging…
Ultrasound has long been used as a non-destructive tool to test for the brittle fracture of materials. Could it be used as a similar tool to test for ductile failure? This study reports results of local measurements of the speed of shear…
