Measurement of Shear Wave Velocity in Soils

Measurement of Shear Wave Velocity in Soils
There are some experimental works to measure deformation constants using dynamic methods, however the results obtained had been scarcely discussed with interparticle bonds of soil. The deformation characteristics have been measured statically and discussed widely in soil mechanics with strain range of several percents in the aspect of failure of soils..

Acoustofluidic Patterning for Improved Microtissue Histology

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Microtissue histology is widely used to characterize microtissue phenotype and morphology. However, conventional microtissue histology workflows are inefficient and time‐consuming. This work introduces a novel embedding technique that uses acoustofluidics to improve the efficiency of microtissue histology and reduce the time required for data analysis.
