Quantitative Analysis of Tissue Damage Evolution in Porcine Liver With Interrupted Mechanical Testing Under Tension, Compression, and Shear.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the damage evolution of liver tissue was quantified at the microstructural level under tensile, compression, and shear loading conditions using an interrupted mechanical testing method. To capture the internal microstructural changes in response to global deformation, the tissue samples were loaded to different strain levels and chemically fixed to permanently preserve the deformed tissue geometry. Tissue microstructural alterations were analyzed to quantify the accumulated damages, with damage-related parameters such as number density, area fraction, mean area, and mean nearest neighbor distance (NND). All three loading states showed a unique pattern of damage evolution, in which the damages were found to increase in number and size, but decrease in NND as strain level increased. To validate the observed damage features as true tissue microstructural damages, more samples were loaded to the above-mentioned strain levels and then unloaded back to their reference state, followed by fixation. The most major damage-relevant features at higher strain levels remained after the release of the external loading, indicating the occurrence of permanent inelastic deformation. This study provides a foundation for future structure-based constitutive material modeling that can capture and predict the stress-state dependent damage evolution in liver tissue.

Project description:This paper studies mechanical properties and energy damage evolution of fiber-reinforced cemented sulfur tailings (CSTB) backfill. The effects of fiber length and fiber content on the stress, toughness and failure properties of the CSTB were systematically revealed. In addition, the energy index evolution law was studied, and the energy damage evolution mechanism of CSTB was revealed. The results show that the deformation failure of fiber-reinforced CSTB mainly goes through four stages: initial crack compaction, linear elastic deformation, yield failure and post-peak failure. The peak stress and residual stress of the CSTB firstly increase and then decrease with the increase of fiber content and the addition of fiber can promote the change from brittle failure to ductile failure of the CSTB. Adding appropriate amount of fiber can improve the toughness of CSTB, and the influence degree of fiber length on the toughness index of CSTB is 6mm>12mm>3mm. The total strain energy increases linearly along the variation of fiber content, while the elastic strain energy and dissipated energy increase exponentially at the peak stress point. In the process of CSTB deformation and failure, "gentle-linear growth-slow growth-rapid decline" is for elastic strain energy, while "gentle-slow growth-rapid growth-linear growth" is for dissipation energy. The damage and failure of CSTB mainly experienced four stages: initial damage, slow growth of damage, accelerated damage and damage failure, and the damage evolution curve also showed the changing characteristics of "gentle-slow growth-rapid growth-linear growth". The CSTB without added fiber showed obvious "Y-type" and "linear-type" shear failure characteristics and the phenomenon of shear cracks penetrating the backfill appeared. No big shear crack occur when it is damaged, showing that the fiber addition restrain the crack growth and improve the overall crack resistance of the CSTB. Hydration products are obviously distributed on the surface of the fiber, which indicates that the fiber will be evenly dispersed in the CSTB and form a certain bonding force with the cement-tailings matrix, thus improving the overall mechanical properties of the CSTB.
