Abstract:
Systems and methods disclosed herein enable the characterization of material property distribution across a sample to ensure sample consistency and/or to detect and characterize anomalies including tumors, inclusions, cracks, changes in structural stiffness in samples capable to experience deformation. The boundary displacement data is collected using a plurality of induced deformations at a plurality of angles and locations relative to surfaces/boundaries of the sample, and the data is transformed to determine material properties of the sample using numerical techniques and material modeling.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of determining material properties comprising:\n (A) applying a first plurality of forces to a first number of locations on a material comprising a plurality of surfaces, wherein the first plurality of forces are applied to at least two surfaces of the plurality of surfaces, wherein each force of the first plurality of forces comprises a type, a direction, and an angle relative to a plane; (B) collecting a first plurality of data from the sample in response to the application of the plurality of forces in (A); (C) repeating (A) and (B) for a predetermined number of cycles; (D) applying a second plurality of forces to a second number of locations on a material comprising a plurality of surfaces, wherein the second plurality of forces are applied to at least two surfaces of the plurality of surfaces, wherein each force of the second plurality of forces comprises a type, a direction, and an angle relative to the plane; (E) collecting a second plurality of data from the sample in response to the application of the plurality of forces in (D); (F) determining, based on (B) and (E) a material property distribution for at least one property across and through the sample, wherein the at least one property comprises a shear modulus or an elastic modulus.
