  • POROELASTIC DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYZER FOR DETERMINING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS.
    Publication number: 20140276230
    Abstract: A system for determining parameters of porous media or material, which in an embodiment is biological tissue, includes an actuator and a displacement monitor. The actuator is adapted to apply a displacement to tissue at a particular frequency selected from a range of frequencies, and the force monitor adapted to monitor a mechanical response of tissue. The system also has a processor coupled to drive the actuator and to read the mechanical response, the processor coupled to execute from memory a poroelastic model of mechanical properties of the material, and a convergence procedure for determining parameters for the poroelastic model such that the model predicts mechanical response of the tissue to within limits.
