چکیده

A tissue-like gelatin elasticity-flow phantom was examined to develop ultrasonic strain imaging for the detection of internal pulsatile deformations. The same imaging technique was then applied in vivo to monitor deformation in tissues surrounding the normal brachial artery. The results suggest that vascular strain patterns resulting from biologic stimuli are very different from those generated using externally applied stress fields, and are directly related to pressure variations within the vessel. These data suggest a potential role for strain imaging in measuring the relative pressure or vascular elasticity locally and noninvasively.

Static analysis of rectangular nanoplates using exponential shear deformation theory based on strain gradient elasticity theory

In this research, the bending analysis of rectangular nanoplates subjected to mechanical loading is investigated. For this purpose, the strain gradient elasticity theory with one gradient parameter is presented to study the nanoplates. From the best knowledge of authors, it is the first time that the exponential shear deformation formulation based on strain gradient elasticity theory is carried...

OCT elastography: imaging microscopic deformation and strain of tissue.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been applied to the study of the microscopic deformation of biological tissue under compressive stress. We describe the hardware and theory of operation of an OCT elastography system that measures internal displacements as small as a few micrometers by using 2D cross-correlation speckle tracking. Results obtained from gelatin scattering models, pork meat, ...

The Strain Dependence of Post-Deformation Softening during the Hot Deformation of 304H Stainless Steel

Experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304H stainless steel. Three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the DRX critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by SRX alone with softening kinetics control...

Plastic deformation analysis in parallel tubular channel angular pressing (PTCAP)

Parallel tubular channel angular pressing (PTCAP) process is a novel recently developed severe plastic deformation technique for fabrication of ultrafine grained (UFG) metallic tubes. This new process consists of two half cycles and is affected by several parameters such as channel angles, deformation ratio and curvature angles. In this paper, the effects of these parameters on the plastic defo...
