Abstract This study proposes a method for identifying viscoelastic properties that considers time- and temperature dependence of Poisson's ratio using inverse analysis. In this method, displacement distribution, which are input values of inverse analysis, is measured by digital image correlation [1], and unknown material properties are determined using the virtual fields method [2]. This method targets plane stress condition and the Poisson's ratio of the viscoelastic body depends on the time and temperature [3]. This study focuses on the correspondence law and proposes a method for calculating stresses considering time- and temperature dependence of Poisson's ratio. In-plane strains are measured and… More >

Abstract Characterizing regional variations of material properties in soft tissues is essential for biomedical engineering and clinical medicine, including but not limited to cancerous disease detection and patient-specific surgical planning of cardiovascular diseases. Identification of nonhomogeneous material property distribution usually requires solving inverse problems in nonlinear elasticity. Generally, inverse algorithms can be categorized into two groups: iterative inversion and direct inversion. In direct inversion, the material property distribution of soft tissues is estimated directly from the equilibrium equations, while the inverse problem is posed as an optimization problem in iterative inversion. In this presentation, we compare the performance of one direct… More >
