Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main funding source(s): Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) Background Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a novel ultrasound technique based on the detection of transverse waves travelling through the myocardium using high frame rate echocardiography. The propagation speed of these shear waves is dependent on the stiffness of the myocardium. Previous studies have shown the potential of SWE for the non-invasive assessment of myocardial stiffness. It is unclear, however, if preload changes lead to measurable changes in the shear wave propagation speed in the left ventricle. In patients undergoing hemodialysis, the volume status is acutely changed. In this way, the effect of preload changes on shear wave speed can be assessed. Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the influence of preload changes on end-diastolic shear wave propagation speed. Methods Until now, 6 patients (age: 80[53-85] years; female: n = 2) receiving hemodialysis treatment were included. Echocardiographic images were taken before and every hour during a 4 hour hemodialysis session. Left ventricular parasternal long-axis views were acquired with an experimental high frame rate ultrasound scanner (average frame rate: 1016[941-1310] Hz). Standard echocardiography was performed with a conventional ultrasound machine. Shear waves were visualized on tissue acceleration maps by drawing an M-mode line along the interventricular septum. Shear wave propagation speed after mitral valve closure (MVC) was calculated by measuring the slope of the wave pattern on the acceleration maps (Figure A). Results Over the course of hemodialysis, the systolic (141[135-156] mmHg vs. 165[105-176] mmHg; p = 0.35 among groups) and diastolic blood pressure (70[66-75] mmHg vs. 82[63-84] mmHg; p = 0.21 among groups), heart rate (56[54-73] bmp vs. 57[50-67] bpm; p = 0.76 among groups), E/A ratio (1.6[0.7-1.8] vs. 1.2[0.6-1.4]; p = 0.43 among groups) and E/e’ (14[9-15] vs. 9[8-13]; p = 0.24 among groups ) remained the same. The ultra-filtrated volumes are shown in Figure B. The shear wave propagation speed after MVC gradually decreased during hemodialysis (6.7[5.4-9.7] m/s vs. 4.4[3.6-9.0] m/s; p = 0.04 among groups) (Figure C). There was a moderate negative correlation between shear wave speed and the ultra-filtrated volume (r=-0.63; p < 0.01) (Figure D). Conclusion The shear wave propagation speed at MVC significantly decreased over the course of hemodialysis and correlated to the ultra-filtrated volume. These results indicate that alterations in left ventricular preload affect the speed of shear waves at end-diastole. End-diastolic shear wave speed might therefore be a potential novel parameter for the evaluation of the left ventricular filling state. More patients will be included in the future to further explore these findings. Abstract Figure.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main funding source(s): Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) Background Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a promising tool for the non-invasive assessment of myocardial stiffness. It is based on the evaluation of the propagation speed of shear waves by high frame rate echocardiography. These waves can be induced by for instance mitral valve closure (MVC) and the speed at which they travel is related to the instantaneous stiffness of the myocardium. Myocardial stiffness is defined by the local slope of the stress-strain relation and can therefore be altered by both changes in structural properties of the myocardium as well as loading conditions. Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate how changes in myocardial structural properties as well as loading conditions affect shear wave speed after MVC. Methods Until now, 8 pigs (weight: 33.6 ± 5.4 kg) were included. The following interventions were performed: 1) preload was reduced by balloon occlusion of the vena cava inferior, 2) afterload was increased by balloon occlusion of descending aorta, 3) preload was increased by intravenous administration of 500 ml of saline and 4) ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R injury) was induced in the septal wall by balloon occlusion of the LAD for 90 min. with subsequent reperfusion for 40 min. Echocardiographic and left ventricular pressure recordings were simultaneously obtained during each intervention. Left ventricular parasternal long-axis views were acquired with an experimental high frame rate ultrasound scanner (average frame rate: 1279 ± 148 Hz). Shear waves were visualized on tissue acceleration maps by drawing an M-mode line along the interventricular septum. Shear wave propagation speed after MVC was calculated by assessing the slope of the wave pattern on the tissue acceleration map (Figure A). Results The change in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and shear wave speed after MVC between baseline and each intervention are shown in Figure B and C, respectively. Preload reduction resulted in significant lower LVEDP compared to baseline (p < 0.01), while the other loading changes did not have a significant effect. Shear wave speed after MVC significantly increased by afterload and preload increase (p < 0.01). I/R injury resulted in increased shear wave speed (p < 0.01) without significantly altering LVEDP. There was a good positive correlation between the change in LVEDP and the change in shear wave speed induced by loading changes (r = 0.76; p < 0.001) (Figure D). However, the correlation became less strong if data of I/R injury was taken into account as well (r = 0.63; p < 0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that SWE is capable to characterize myocardial tissue properties and besides has the potential as a novel method for the estimation of left ventricular filling pressures. However, in the presence of structural changes of the myocardium, care should be taken when estimating filling pressures based on shear wave propagation speed. Abstract Figure.

Abstract The non-destructive wave propagation technique is used to estimate the wood’s modulus of elasticity. The propagation speed of ultrasonic waves is influenced by some factors, among them: the type of transducer used in the test, the form of coupling and the sensitivity of the transducers. The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of the contact pressure of the transducers on the ultrasonic speed. Ninety-eight tests were carried out on specimens of the species Eucalyptus grandis, with dimensions of 120 × 120 × 50 mm. The calibration of the pressure exerted by the transducer was controlled by a pressure gauge using a previously calibrated load cell. The robust statistical analysis allowed to validate the experimental results and to obtain consistent conclusions. The results showed that the wave propagation speed is not influenced by the pressure exerted by the transducer.

Over Time

The evolution of a perturbation from a local source for Mandel'shtam-Brillouin scattering in a plasma layer with unlimited length is calculated. Perturbation over time in this case can either leave the scattering region through one of the two boundaries, or propagate along the layer at a speed below sound wave propagation speed, with an exponential growth, or a fall in perturbation amplitude. In the particular case of strictly backward scattering (the scattering angle is π), this propagation velocity is zero. The paper calculates the threshold instability fields and the instability increments, taking into account both convective losses and collisional attenuation of waves. It is shown that the instability threshold for scattering at an arbitrary angle can be lower than for strictly backwards scattering and when the threshold is exceeded by the intensity of the pump wave; the scattering increment at an angle can also be higher than the increment for backscattering. When the threshold is greatly exceeded, the convective losses can be neglected, and the largest increment is observed for backward scattering.

In this research, the discrete element method has been used to analyze wave propagation and to investigate the factors affecting wave reduction in granular soils. The method of discrete elements is important because of the possibility of preparing completely similar specimens and examining the effect of changes in a certain parameter on the Behavior of the specimens. This method also provides an understanding of the changes that have occurred at the micro-scale of granular materials that are not achievable with other laboratory and numerical methods. To model the specimens, a set of disks with specific granulation has been used for two-dimensional studies. PFC 2D software has been used to perform simulations and related analyzes such as interparticle force. The DEM code in MATLAB is used to check the wave depreciation. In this research, the optimization process was performed using experimental data and the Taguchi method using the DEM method. The results of this study show that there is a direct relationship between the number of particle set contacts and the wave propagation speed. Also, material properties such as particle density are the most important parameters affecting wave velocity. The results of the method (DEM) are done with PFC 2D software and a comparison between the results of this method with the solution methods used by other researchers is shown to be a good match.

The interaction of vibratory traveling waves in rotating and stationary axisymmetric components is examined. In the most general case, a resonance can occur when the wave propagation speed in a first structure is equal in magnitude and direction to the rotational velocity of an adjacent structure. When a backward wave in a rotor appears stationary, a major resonance, as discussed in Wilfred Campbell's classic paper (Campbell, W., 1924, “The Protection of Steam Turbine Disc Wheels from Axial Vibrations,” Trans ASME, 46, pp. 31–160), results. A related resonance has been observed when the wave propagation speed in the stator is equal to the physical speed of the adjacent rotor. A third mechanism is derived for resonance between a wave in rotor 1 and a co- or counter-rotating rotor 2. Description of a component test which demonstrated this final phenomenon is provided.
