The elastic behavior of materials is of critical importance for the design, fabrication, and testing of industrial and structural components. The ease with which the wave angle of incidence can be varied makes ultrasonic techniques well…
A method is presented for the determination of complex-valued compression and shear elastic moduli of polymers for ultrasound applications. The resulting values, which are scarcely reported in the literature, are found with uncertainties…
Objective: To compare non-contact acoustic micro-tapping optical coherence elastography (AuT-OCE) with destructive mechanical tests to confirm corneal elastic anisotropy. Design: Ex vivo, laboratory study with non-contact AuT-OCE followed…
Objective: The mechanical properties of corneal tissues play a crucial role in determining corneal shape and have significant implications in vision care. This study aimed to address the challenge of obtaining accurate in vivo data for the…
We present a model to study Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the composite material of amorphous nanowires. It is an extension of the model derived by two of us [Da Fonseca and Galvao, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 175502 (2004)] to study the…
A body force concentrated at a point and moving at a high speed can induce shear-wave Mach cones in dusty-plasma crystals or soft materials, as observed experimentally and named the elastic Cherenkov effect (ECE). The ECE in soft materials…
Conventional imaging of diagnostic ultrasound is widely used. Although it makes the differences in the soft tissues echogenicities' apparent and clear, it fails in describing and estimating the soft tissue mechanical properties. It cannot…
Purpose. To demonstrate accurate measurement of corneal elastic moduli in vivo with non-contact and non-invasive optical coherence elastography. Methods. Elastic properties (in-plane Young's modulus E and both in-plane, u, and out-of-plane,…
Intracortical US imaging extends B-mode imaging into bone using a dedicated image reconstruction algorithm that corrects for refraction at the bone-soft tissue interfaces. It has shown promising results in a few healthy, predominantly young…
The accurate determination of the elastic properties is non-trivial for metallic foils. The measured elastic modulus is often described in literature as significantly smaller than the respective modulus of the bulk counterparts. This paper…
The propagation of acoustic or elastic waves in artificial crystals, including the case of phononic and sonic crystals, is inherently anisotropic. As is known from the theory of periodic composites, anisotropy is directly dictated by the…

Using shear wave elastography, we measure the changes in the wave speed with the stress produced by a striated muscle during isometric voluntary contraction. To isolate the behaviour of an individual muscle from complementary or…
Visualizing elastic waves by noninvasive imaging has been useful for analyzing the mechanical properties of materials and tissues. However, the maximum wave frequency of elastography has been limited to ~10 kHz due to the finite sensitivity…
Ultrasound imaging of the cortex of long bones may enable the measurement of the cortical thickness and the ultrasound wave speed in cortical bone tissue. However, with bone loss, the cortical porosity and the size of the pores increase,…
We describe an experimental setup specifically designed for measuring the ultrasonic transmission through liquid foams, over a broad range of frequencies (60-600 kHz). The question of determining the ultrasonic properties of the foam…
Ultrasound is a continually developing technology that is broadly used for fast, non-destructive mechanical property detection of hard and soft materials in applications ranging from manufacturing to biomedical. In this study, a novel…
Broadband laser ultrasonics and two dimensional Fourier transformation are used to characterize the properties of varieties of foils and plates. Laser ultrasonics generation is achieved by use of a pulsed laser which deposits pulsed laser…
Elasticity is a fundamental cellular property that is related to the anatomy, functionality and pathological state of cells and tissues. However, current techniques based on cell deformation, atomic force microscopy or Brillouin scattering…
In this letter, elastic properties of highly anisotropic cellular poly(propylene) films are reported. The material shows peculiar elastic properties compared to other foams in the literature. The data is displayed as the relative Young's…
