This paper presents a systematic finite element model to predict the fixture unit stiffness by introducing nonlinear contact elements on the contact surface between fixture components. The contact element includes three independent springs: two in tangential directions and one in the normal direction of the contact surface. Strong nonlinearity is caused by possible separation and sliding between two...
This paper describes an experimental investigation to estimate the contact stiffness in normal and tangential directions. The static method was used to estimate normal contact stiffness and to study the effecting factors. In order to study tangential contact stiffness, dynamic methods were developed to estimate contact stiffness in both normal and tangential directions. That study is validated by...
Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a phase contrast imaging technique to quantitatively measure the elasticity of tissues. Typically, an oscillating driver is placed on the surface to generate the shear waves. The depth penetration of the wave is limited by attenuation and the biopsy procedure has to be done separately. In this study, we use a biopsy needle as the driver to detect the 15% porcine...
Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a phase-contrast technique using conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging system to visualize propagating shear waves and study the stiffness of tissues. Usually, shear vibrations are applied to the surface of tissues by means of mechanical driver at one point. But it is hard for the single driver to detect very small tumors. Multiple drivers are expected to...
