Tissu mou (plantaire)
Plantar soft tissues are located at the heel and ball of the foot and its primary role is to transfer forces to the skeleton by attenuating shock loads and vibrations.
À propos de ce matériau
(En anglais seulement) Plantar soft tissues are located at the heel and ball of the foot and its primary role is to transfer forces to the skeleton by attenuating shock loads and vibrations. The mechanical properties of plantar soft tissues are studied to learn about: its structural function in the body, the effects and mechanisms of pathologies in plantar mechanics and related clinical issues such as plantar ulcers, research in plantar physiology and improvement in the development of therapy, treatment and interventions such as orthotics/shoes.

FAQ
Qu'est-ce que le module d'Young E?+
Module de laboratoire — Compression non confinée de disques d’hydrogel
Comment fonctionne le modèle "Sinusoid"? +
(En anglais seulement) This feature is used to obtain the Frequency, Amplitude and Offset of a sinusoidal signal. A blue line displays the theoretical sinusoid with the Frequency, Amplitude and Offset obtained (Figure 1). The values of the Frequency, Amplitude and Offset are indicated in the "Results" field. The units vary according to the graph’s axes.
This feature can also be used for sinusoidal stimulus-response analysis. Sinusoidal stimulus shall be selected on the x-axis and the sinusoidal response on the y-axis. The Modulus is the ratio of the response Amplitude over the stimulus Amplitude. The Phase is the phase difference between the response and the stimulus. The Modulus’ is computed as the Modulus*Cos(Phase) and the Modulus” is computed as the Modulus*Sin(Phase). A blue line displays the theoretical sinusoidal stimulus-response with the Frequency, Modulus and Phase obtained (Figure 2). The values of the Modulus and Phase are indicated in the “Results” field. The units vary according to the graph’s axes.
One use for this feature would be to compute material properties by multiplying the Modulus obtained by the appropriate geometric factors. For example, the Young’s Modulus can be obtained during uniaxial compression or tension on cylindrical sample with t/pi*r2 as the geometric factor, t is the thickness and r is the radius of the sample.
