Abstract:

This paper introduces an optical measurement system for shock wave characteristics. The system works by mountinga metal plate attached to spring mounts against the shock wavefront. This set is sealed and can plot the shock wave pressure diagram by measuring plate's displacement, radiation and changing the reflection of light during shock wave conflict, and converting these optical data to voltage. In the experiments with the optical system, there was no delay time in the wave impact response. Using the optical system and the fixture designed and built, it is also possible to measure the velocity of moving objects and monitor the planar shock wave formation in addition to the shock wave velocity. Then the calibration was performed with the help of a standard piezoresistive sensor in a cold diaphragm shock tube, with a pressure of 5.5 to 12.5 bar by performing 12 tests. Relations and figures for output voltage and shock pressure are also explained.

Designing and Constructing an Optical System to measure Continuous and Cuffless Blood Pressure Using Two Pulse Signals

Introduction Blood pressure (BP) is one of the important vital signs that need to be monitored for personal healthcare. Arterial blood pressure is estimated from pulse transit time (PTT). This study uses two pulse sensors to get PTT. The aim of this study was to construct an optical system and to monitor blood pressure continuously and without cuff in people with different ages. Materials and M...

Measurement of Aortic Pressure Wave Velocity by 4D Image Registration

Aortic pulse wave velocity is an important diagnostic measure and has been associated with significant cardiovascular mortality. Our hypothesis is that this parameter can be measured using displacement fields obtained by registration of time-series images. This paper presents a method in which a form of the wave equation is used as a regularization term in the registration process. It is demons...

Measuring Pressure Wave Velocity in a Hydraulic System

Pressure wave velocity in a hydraulic system was determined using piezo pressure sensors without removing fluid from the system. The measurements were carried out in a low pressure range (0.2 – 6 bar) and the results were compared with the results of other studies. This method is not as accurate as measurement with separate measurement equipment, but the fluid is in the actual machine the whole...

High Pressure Shock Wave Attenuation

The attenuation of high pressure shock waves has been investigated. High purity copper, 6061-T6 aluminum, 6A1-4V and a phase titanium, an uranium alloy and two alloys of beryllium were examined experimentally at pressures as high as 3 megabars. Low pressure experiments were instrumented with a velocity laser interferometer. Intermediate pressures (to several hundred kilobars) were instrumented ...
