Complex Shear Modulus Reconstruction Using Ultrasound Shear - Wave Imaging
Many pathological processes in tissues are recognized by morphological changes that reflect alterations of the soft tissue mechanical properties. Ultrasound shear-wave imaging can provide quantitative information about soft tissue mechanical properties, specifically the complex shear modulus. Advancing this field has the potential to bridge molecular, cellular, and tissue biology and to influen...
متن کاملStatic shear modulus of electrorheological fluids.
We report measurements of the static shear modulus of electrorheological (ER) fluids consisting of water-wetted silica microspheres in silicone oil. A shear-annealing method, using creep-recovery (CR) cycles under an external electric field, is used to enhance ER properties of the fluid. The shear-annealing method enables the silica spheres in the ER fluid to form better aligned and denser colu...
متن کاملLinear Dependency of NMR Relaxation Rates on Shear Modulus in Hydrogels.
It is found that the NMR relaxation rates of diffusants in peptide hydrogels have a linear dependency on the shear modulus of the hydrogels. This finding opens the door for non-invasive and forceless mechanical characterizations of materials and tissues using NMR and MRI.
متن کاملShear modulus of neutron star crust
The shear modulus of solid neutron star crust is calculated by the thermodynamic perturbation theory, taking into account ion motion. At a given density, the crust is modelled as a bodycentred cubic Coulomb crystal of fully ionized atomic nuclei of one type with a uniform charge-compensating electron background. Classic and quantum regimes of ion motion are considered. The calculations in the c...
متن کاملShear Modulus of a Polymer Brush
Eighteen years ago, Fredrickson et al. [Macromolecules 1992, 25, 2882-2889] predicted that a molten polymer brush possesses a shear modulus that would cause its surface structure to deviate from a liquid. Their prediction, though broadly used, has been largely unchecked. Here, we present experimental data on polystyrene brushes that validate Fredrickson et al.’s prediction. We also present data...
