Description
Gelatinous-based materials show promising uses in various fields such as tissue engineering and bioengineering. However, measuring important structural characteristics of gelatin and hydrogel-based materials are challenging because of the characteristics of the material. Important dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies and mode shapes are difficult to measure with conventional contact and non-contact based techniques such as accelerometers, strain gauges and laser vibrometers. Solutions have been made by others using 3D laser imaging, x-ray imaging and ultrasound, but these are expensive and have drawbacks for certain scenarios such as translucent gels and small gelatinous objects.
The goal of this research focuses on advancing the state of the art of characterizing structural properties of gelatinous materials using vision based vibrometry. The technique uses video footage of the relevant material taken with a high-speed camera. By analyzing the changes in pixels, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the material are determined. This method is non-contact based and allows the relevant mode shapes to be observed while eliminating challenges presented by conventional methods such as cost and inaccuracy with small or translucent objects.
