Indentation versus tensile measurements of Young's modulus for soft biological tissues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this review, we compare the reported values of Young's modulus (YM) obtained from indentation and tensile deformations of soft biological tissues. When the method of deformation is ignored, YM values for any given tissue typically span several orders of magnitude. If the method of deformation is considered, then a consistent and less ambiguous result emerges. On average, YM values for soft tissues are consistently lower when obtained by indentation deformations. We discuss the implications and potential impact of this finding.

Effective elastic properties for lower limb soft tissues from manual indentation experiment.
Quantitative assessment of the biomechanical properties of limb soft tissues has become more important during the last decade because of the introduction of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and finite element analysis to the prosthetic socket design. Because of the lack of a clinically easy-to-use apparatus, the site and posture dependences of the material proper...
متن کاملQuantitative Imaging of Young's Modulus of Soft Tissues from Ultrasound Water Jet Indentation: A Finite Element Study
Indentation testing is a widely used approach to evaluate mechanical characteristics of soft tissues quantitatively. Young's modulus of soft tissue can be calculated from the force-deformation data with known tissue thickness and Poisson's ratio using Hayes' equation. Our group previously developed a noncontact indentation system using a water jet as a soft indenter as well as the coupling medi...
متن کاملObjective assessment of limb tissue elasticity: development of a manual indentation procedure.
An ultrasound indentation system with a pen-size hand-held probe was developed and used to obtain the effective Young's moduli of forearm and lower limb soft tissues in 12 subjects. Since the probe is manually driven, the alignment of the probe and control of the rate of indentation are parameters upon which the results obtained depend. This paper addresses whether manual indentation tests with...
متن کاملA Nano-indentation Identification Technique for Viscoelastic Constitutive Characteristics of Periodontal Ligaments
Introduction: Nano-indentation has recently been employed as a powerful tool for determining the mechanical properties of biological tissues on nano and micro scales. A majority of soft biological tissues such as ligaments and tendons exhibit viscoelastic or time-dependent behaviors. The constitutive characterization of soft tissues is among very important subjects in clinical medicine and espe...
متن کاملBiomechanical assessment of plantar foot tissue in diabetic patients using an ultrasound indentation system.
The biomechanical properties of plantar tissues were investigated for four older neuropathic diabetic patients and four healthy younger subjects. Indentation tests were performed at four high-pressure areas with three postures in each subject. The tissue thickness and effective Young's modulus were measured by an ultrasound (US) indentation system. The system comprised a pen-size probe having a...
