Radiation force is a universal phenomenon in any wave motion, electromagnetic or acoustic.
Although acoustic and electromagnetic waves are both characterized by time variation of …

Quantitative assessment of the structural, functional, and mechanical properties of
engineered tissues and biomaterials is fundamental to their development for regenerative …

Both static and time-dependent mechanical factors can have a profound impact on cell and
tissue function, but it is challenging to measure the mechanical properties of soft materials at …

Evaluation of tissue engineering constructs is performed by a series of different tests. In
many cases it is important to match the mechanical properties of these constructs to those of …

The focus of this study is the sustained body force (the so-called acoustic radiation force) in
homogeneous tissue-like solids generated by an elevated-intensity, focused ultrasound field …

Prompted by a recent finding that the magnitude of the acoustic radiation force (ARF) in
isotropic tissue-like solids depends linearly on a particular third-order modulus of elasticity …

To aid the material identification of tissue anomalies exposed by the vibro-acoustography
approach to medical imaging that makes use of the acoustic radiation force, the focus of this …

This study investigates the nature of the acoustic radiation force (ARF) in Newtonian fluids
generated by a high-intensity sound field in situations when the latter is modulated using …

Biomechanical imaging techniques have been developed for soft tissue characterisation
and detection of breast tumours. Harmonic motion imaging (HMI) uses a focused ultrasound …

This study establishes a dual-time computational platform for solving the nonlinear parabolic
wave equation in situations when the prescribed ultrasound excitation is modulated by a …
