Abstract:
:The flash thermal diffusivity measurement technique is applied to tissue for the first time. Making use of its minimal contact with the specimen, the flash technique is extended to allow for well-defined, biaxial, finite strain. As an example application, the radial component of thermal diffusivity of bovine descending aorta is measured in vitro as a function of equibiaxial stretch, at room temperature. Data analysis is accomplished using a Marquardt algorithm coupled with a finite difference solution of the thermal diffusion equation. Extension of this method to measure simultaneously three orthogonal components of diffusivity, at different levels of temperature, is discussed.
