Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science, Miami University, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
Vibration based monitoring techniques are widely used to detect damage, monitor the growth of inherent defects, system identification, and material parameter estimation for various engineering applications. These techniques present a non-invasive and relatively inexpensive tool for various biomedical applications, for example, in characterizing the mechanical properties of the bone and muscles of humans as well as animals. In recent years, it has been shown that fundamental natural frequencies and corresponding damping ratios can be correlated to the bone health quality indicators as associated with osteoporosis, osteoarthritis etc. In this research, through the investigation of clinical data, an analysis procedure is developed to investigate the correlation between the damping properties associated with both lower and higher modes of vibration and bone health quality. Subsequently, a data-driven system identification tool for reconstructing the parameters (mass, stiffness, damping distributions) in a low-dimensional human model is developed which utilizes selected measurements from the clinical study. It is anticipated that the analysis process and parameter identification techniques presented here can be developed and tuned for any individual human model and can be can be used as osteological monitoring tool for predicting early diagnostics pre-cursors of the bone or muscle related conditions or diseases.
