Investigating anisotropic elasticity using MR-Elastography combined with Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Validation using anisotropic and viscoelastic phantoms
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive imaging technique which is capable of quantifying soft tissue elasticity in vivo [1]. Most MRE studies have assumed isotropic mechanical properties although many soft tissues possess anisotropic mechanical properties due to their fibrous structure, for instance skeletal muscle or brain white matter. We propose a technique whi...
متن کاملMotile Behavior of Bacteria
© 2000 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0001-010-3 E coli is a singlecelled organism that lives in your gut. It is equipped with a set of rotary motors only 45 nm in diameter. Each motor drives a long, thin, helical filament that extends several cell body lengths out into the external medium. The assemblage of motor and filament is called a flagellum. The concerted motion of several f...
متن کاملElectrophoresis of motile bacteria.
For over 30 years the technique of microelectrophoresis has been used to study the surface properties of bacteria and other particles of microscopic size. Since flagella undoubtedly act as cellular surface components, they would be expected to contribute to the electrophoretic behavior of the cells. Likewise, vital motion might be expected to complicate electrophoretic measurements of flagellat...
متن کاملAnisotropic viscoelastic models with singular memory
The physical background of singular memory models and in particular the Cole–Cole model is discussed. Three models of anisotropic linear viscoelasticity with frequency-dependent stiffness coefficients are considered. The models are constructed in such a way that anisotropic properties are separated from anelastic effects. Two of these models represent finite-speed wave propagation with singular...
متن کامل“dynamics of Viscoelastic Anisotropic Media”
New principles are introduced for the formulation of dynamic problems in viscoelasticity for the most general case of anisotropy. One is a variational principle derived from irreversible thermodynamics. The other a correspondence principle between viscoelasticity and elasticity. Applications to the mmics of viscoelastic plates and rods are developed as examples. The variational principles are a...
