Monitoring prestress in plates by sideband peak count-index (SPC-I) and nonlinear higher harmonics techniques

Higher harmonics in colloid rheology

In this thesis we analyze a schematic Mode-Coupling Theory in two time variables for small amplitude oscillatory shear with frequency ω. We derive the second order Taylor approximation for the density correlator and formulas for its long-time behavior. We also numerically solve the resulting equations, thus confirming the analytic results. We find that the solutions for the perturbation of the ...

Cell prestress. I. Stiffness and prestress are closely associated in adherent contractile cells.

The tensegrity hypothesis holds that the cytoskeleton is a structure whose shape is stabilized predominantly by the tensile stresses borne by filamentous structures. Accordingly, cell stiffness must increase in proportion with the level of the tensile stress, which is called the prestress. Here we have tested that prediction in adherent human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells. Traction microsco...

Title : Behavior of Nonlinear Higher Harmonics in Plate and Rod Guided Waves

The study of nonlinear elastic wave propagation has been of considerable interest for the last four decades. This, in part, is due to the fact that nonlinear parameters are, in general, more sensitive to structural defects than linear parameters. Although guided waves combine the sensitivity of nonlinear parameters with large inspection ranges there are very few studies of guided nonlinear elas...

Monitoring Depth of Anesthesia by Nonlinear Correlation Measures

Background: Monitoring the depth of anesthesia (DOA) takes an important role for anesthetists in order avoiding undesirable reactions such as intraoperative awareness, prolonged recovery and increased risk of postoperative complications.The Central Nervous System (CNS) is the main target of anesthetic drugs, hence EEG signal processing during anesthesia is helpful for monitoring DOA. In order t...
