Key result
An electromechanical servo-controlled device, the Biodyne, was developed to test the mechanical behavior of biological soft tissues including stress-strain, vibration, relaxation, and creep.
The Biodyne device provides a new tool for testing the mechanical properties of biological soft tissues, including muscle.
May support biomechanical testing of cardiovascular tissues in research; leaves open any clinical translation pending validation.
An electromechanical servo-controlled device has been developed. This device can be used to test the mechanical behavior of a wide variety of biological soft tissues. Control and execution of material testing procedures such as stress-strain, vibration, relaxation, creep etc. can be performed by manual operation of the device or by interfacing it with a laboratory type minicomputer. Experiments on excitable tissues such as muscle can also be executed. The design details and system performance are discussed.
