An experimental dynamic material property identification technique is presented that is based on the theoretical formulations of a vibrating pre-stressed beam. The technique determines the viscoelastic material properties of tissue mimicking materials that govern their dynamic behavior. Results are presented for a silicone based material (CF11-2188 Nusil Silicone Technology, Carpinteria, CA) that is in the form of a thick string held between fixed supports under tensile pre-stress. The specimens are excited through the transverse harmonic displacement of the boundary. Transverse vibration at an arbitrary location is measured and compared with theory to identify material viscoelastic moduli valid up to at least several hundred Hertz. The presented technique can aid in providing accurate viscoelastic parameter values for phantoms that are used in the development of a range of medical diagnostic techniques that attempt to identify pathology or tissue differentiation via changes in mechanical stiffness and viscosity.

AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Turgut, Sadi; Unal, V. Ustoglu; Aksahin, E.; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01)
A theoretical study of the effect of the confining potential on the nonlinear optical properties of two dimensional quantum dots is performed. A three-parameter Woods-Saxon potential is used within the density matrix formalism. The control of confinement by three parameters and an applied electric field gives one quite an advantage in studying their effects on the nonlinear properties. The coefficients investigated include the optical rectification, second and third-harmonic generation and the change in the...
Free vibration characteristics of a 3d mixed formulation beam element with force-based consistent mass matrix
Soydas, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin (2017-09-01)
In this analytical study, free vibration analyses of a 3d mixed formulation beam element are performed by adopting force-based consistent mass matrix that incorporates shear and rotary inertia effects. The force-based approach takes into account the actual distribution of mass of an element in the derivation of the mass matrix. Moreover, the force-based approach enables accurate determination of free vibration frequencies of members with varying geometry and material distribution without any need for specif...
Electromagnetic Object Recognition for Dielectric Coated Conductors Based on WD-PCA Type Fused Feature Extraction
Sayan, Gönül (2012-01-01)
This paper presents the application of a real-time electromagnetic object classification technique to recognize dielectric coated conducting objects using their wideband scattered signals received at arbitrary combinations of aspect and polarization. The suggested classifier design technique depends on the use of Singularity Expansion Method (SEM) to represent a given electromagnetic scatterer by its natural resonances. A quadratic time-frequency transformation, the Wigner distribution (WD), is used to extr...
Radiation force of ultrasound as shear wave source in Microscopic Magnetic Resonance Elastography
Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Xu, Huıhuı; Meral, Can; Royston, Thomas J; Magın, Rıchard L (2005-10-21)
Microscopic magnetic resonance elastography (micro‐MRE) is a high‐resolution imaging technique for measuring the viscoelastic properties of small synthetic and biological samples. Taking MRE to the microscopic scale requires stronger static fields, stronger magnetic field gradients, higher performance RF coils, and more compact, higher frequency shear wave actuators. Prior work by our group has been conducted at 11.74 T. A needle attached to a vibrating cantilever beam was placed in contact with the surface...

This paper presents the application of a real-time electromagnetic target classification technique to recognize dispersive dielectric objects with varying loss characteristics. The suggested classifier design technique is operative at the resonance region and is based on the use of Singularity Expansion Method (SEM) to represent a given electromagnetic scatterer by its natural response. A multi-aspect database of wide band scattered signals are processed to extract target features with the ultimate aim of t...
