There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: Quantifying the Effects of Knee Biomechanics on Acoustical Emissions
Committee:
Dr. Inan, Advisor
Dr. Ayazi, Chair
Dr. Young
Abstract:
The objective of this proposed research is to elucidate the effects of knee joint biomechanics on acoustical emissions (AEs), which will require the development of novel signal processing techniques for interpreting these high-dimensional signals. The biomechanical properties/applied conditions on the joint that will be explored are compressive force as a result of loading, muscle strength, and the ranges of motion at different speeds of articulations. This research focuses on novel methods of interpreting the characteristics of the joint AEs and defines the correlation and effects of the biomechanics on these sounds.
