基于数字图像相关法的透明液滴形貌测量方法

对固体表面液滴形貌的测量与分析是探究固-液相互作用、表面性能表征中的重要环节。然而,透明液滴通常在光学系统中难以成像,从而为其全场形貌测量带来了极大困难。为此,本文提出了一种透明液滴三维形貌测量方法,以液滴诱发图像位移结合折射成像规律实现液滴形貌的测量。首先,通过数字图像相关法测量液滴导致的固体表面图像位移;其次,建立基于折射成像的物理模型,确立图像位移与液面高度之间的关系;最后,由实验测量到的图像位移,结合物理模型求解液面高度,实现液滴三维形貌的重建。实验结果表明,所提出的方法能够准确地测量固体表面的液滴三维形貌,并且适用于不规则液面的测量。     

数字图像相关方法中散斑图的质量评价研究

在利用数字图像相关方法测量物体表面变形时,被测物体表面必需覆盖有灰度随机分布的散斑场,该散斑场作为试件表面变形信息的载体随试件一起变形。在实际情况下,不同的散斑场会显示出完全不同的灰度分布特征,并对数字图像相关方法的测量结果有着重要影响。因此如何定量评价散斑图的优劣是数字图像相关方法中一个重要的基本问题,也是该方法的使用者非常关心的问题。基于最近数字图像相关方法基本理论研究的进展,本文提出平均灰度梯度这一新参数用于散斑图质量的评价。为证实该参数的有效性,本文对五幅明显不同的散斑图进行了精确平移,并将数字图像相关方法测量的位移与预加的平移量进行比较,分析了位移测量结果的均值误差和标准差。结果显示位移测量结果的均值误差和标准差均与散斑图的平均灰度梯度有关,一个好的散斑图应该具有较大的平均灰度梯度。

DVC中内部散斑质量评价及计算体素点的优化选择

数字体图像相关方法(digital volume correlation, DVC)是一种可测量物体内部三维全场变形的先进实验力学测试技术, 通过分析由体图像成像设备(如X-ray CT)获取的物体变形前后的三维体图像, DVC可获得物体内部具有亚体素精度的三维变形信息. 在应用DVC测量内部变形时, 被测试样体图像的内部散斑质量对其测量精度有着重要影响. 本文从DVC算法位移测量误差的理论分析和数值模拟实验两方面证实了DVC的位移测量误差与计算子体块的灰度梯度平方和(sum of square subvolume intensity gradient, SSSIG)值呈负相关关系, 即: 计算子体块的SSSIG值越大, 其位移测量精度越高, 因此SSSIG可用于体图像内部散斑质量的定量评价. 尽管直接增加计算子体块尺寸可以增加SSSIG, 但是较大计算子体块内更多的计算点会导致计算量的显著增加. 为此, 本文进一步提出一种计算体素点优化选择方法, 该方法通过将计算子体块中灰度梯度较小的体素点剔除出计算, 以实现在增大计算子体块尺寸的同时不会显著增加计算量. 模拟和真实实验结果显示了该计算体素点优化选择方法的有效性.

Tissue level microstructure and mechanical properties of the femoral head in the proximal femur of fracture patients

This study aims to investigate the regional variations of trabecular morphological parameters and mechanical parameters of the femoral head,as well as to determine the relationship between trabecular morphological and mechanical parameters.Seven femoral heads from patients with fractured proximal femur were scanned using a micro-CT system.Each femoral head was divided into 12 sub-regions according to the trabecular orientation.One 125 mm~3 trabecular cubic model was reconstructed from each sub-region.A total of 81 trabecular models were reconstructed,except three destroyed sub-regions from two femoral heads during the surgery.Trabecular morphological parameters,i.e.trabecular separation(Tb.Sp),trabecular thickness(Tb.Th),specific bone surface(BS/B V),bone volume fraction(BV/TV),structural model index(SMI),and degree of anisotropy(DA) were measured.Micro-finite element analyses were performed for each cube to obtain the apparent Young's modulus and tissue level von Mises stress distribution under 1%compressive strain along three orthogonal directions,respectively.Results revealed significant regional variations in the morphological parameters(P0.05).Young's moduli along the trabecular orientation were significantly higher than those along the other two directions.In general,trabecular mechanical properties in the medial region were lower than those in the lateral region.Trabecular mechanical parameters along the trabecular orientation were significantly correlated with BS/BV,BV/TV,Tb.Th,and DA.In this study,regional variations of microstructural features and mechanical properties in the femoral head of patients with proximal femur fracture were thoroughly investigated at the tissue level.The results of this study will help to elucidate the mechanism of femoral head fracture for reducing fracture risk and developing treatment strategies for the elderly.

Ceramic-Based Speckles and Enhanced Feature-Detecting Algorithm for Deformation Measurement at High Temperature

The mechanical properties of Ni-base alloys have drawn considerable attention owing to their wide application in the hot components of aircrafts and gas turbines. To accurately measure the deformation of Ni-based alloys at high temperatures, a new type of high-temperature speckles is fabricated on the surface of specimens subjected to long heating durations at temperatures up to 1400 °C. Meanwhile, a novel measurement method based on the scale-invariant feature transform algorithm is developed to measure the deformation and obtain a more accurate result. Both of the above proposed methods are used in a creep test of Inconel 713C at 860 °C. The experimental results indicate that the speckles exhibit excellent performance under heating conditions and adhere well to the substrate at high temperatures. Also, the proposed deformation measurement method exhibits superior image processing even when the speckle quality is imperfect with respect to speckle size.     

THE EFFECTS OF COD BONE GELATIN ON TRABECULAR MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CANCELLOUS BONE

Osteoporosis is a common clinical complication of post-menopausal women and the elderly and can significantly complicate the severity of bone fragility. The purpose of this study is to investigate how cod bone gelatin administration influences trabecular biomechanical properties after ovariectomy. Both biomechanical properties and trabecular microarchitectures were evaluated for cancellous bone samples from female ovariectomized rats, which were either shamoperated or treated with marine peptide(0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 g/kg body weight) for 90 days. The results have confirmed that cod bone gelatin treatment is effective in the prevention of mechanical property loss by preserving bone mass and trabecular architecture.     

Advances in light microscope stereo vision

The increasing research focus on small-scale mechanical systems has generated a need for deformation and strain measurement systems for microscale applications. Optical measurement systems, such as digital image correlation, present an obvious choice due to their non-contacting nature. However, the transfer of measurement technology developed for macroscale applications to the microscale presents unique challenges due to the differences in the required highmagnification optics. In this paper we illustrate the problems involved in calibrating a stereo microscope using traditional techniques and present a novel methodology for acquiring accurate, three-dimensional surface shape and deformation data on small-scale specimens. Experimental results demonstrate that stereo microscope systems can be accurately and reliably calibrated using a priori distortion estimation techniques in combination with traditional bundle-adjustment. The unique feature of the present methodology is that it does not require a precision calibration target but relies solely on point correspondences obtained by image correlation. A variety of experiments illustrate the measurement performance of a stereo microscope system. It is shown that the surface strains obtained from the full-field, three-dimensional measurements on tensile specimens undergoing large rigid-body motions are within ±50 microstrain of strain gage measurements for strains ranging from 0 to 2000 microstrain.

Fluid Flow Analysis of Integrated Porous Bone Scaffold and Cancellous Bone at Different Skeletal Sites: In Silico Study

The dynamic characteristic of bone is its ability to remodel itself through mechanobiological responses. Bone regeneration is triggered by mechanical cues from physiological activities that generate structural strain and cause bone marrow movement. This phenomenon is crucial for bone scaffold when implanted in the cancellous bone as host tissue. Often, the fluid movement of bone scaffold and cancellous bone is studied separately, which does not represent the actual environment once implanted. In the present study, the fluid flow analysis properties of bone scaffold integrated into the cancellous bone at different skeletal sites are investigated. Three types of porous bone scaffolds categorized based on pore size configurations: 1 mm, 0.8 mm and hybrid (0.8 mm interlaced with 0.5 mm) were used. Three different skeletal sites of femoral bone were selected: neck, lateral condyle and medial condyle. Computational fluid dynamics was utilized to analyze the fluid flow properties of bone scaffold integrated cancellous bone. The results of this study reveal that the localization and maximum value of shear stress in an independent bone scaffold are significantly different compared to the bone scaffold integrated with cancellous bone by about 160% to 448% percentage difference. Low shear stress and high permeability were found across models that have higher Tb.Sp (trabecular separation). Specimen C and femoral lateral condyle showed the highest permeability in their respective category.
