| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
At first, the literature review and the preparation for the experiment of the proposed research have been conducted. For calculating the dynamic quantities of knee joint movements, moiré topography based image processing techniques have been developed. For understanding and evaluating the performance, the nondestructive evaluation performance test of AE technique has been conducted by getting the information of damage initiation and propagation properties in different pilot studies for some knee-bone like hard structural materials as steel, pearlite type cast-iron. Source location criterial of AE technique for material damage has been satisfactorily achieved as well. These experimental results showed the evidence of practical applicability of the proposed AE technique in knee joint evaluation as explained in the proposal.
Based on results, 3 Journal papers, 8 International and 4 Domestic Conference papers have been published.
