摘要:
The invention relates to a method for optimising wave focalisation in an area of interest (6) of a medium (4), the waves being emitted by a source network (3) to the medium (4) via an aberration insertion member (5) for inserting an initially non-determined phase deviation. The method of the invention comprises using M-1 successive modifications of the emitted wave, each resulting in a disturbance. According to the invention, the M disturbances are measured in the area of interest (6) at each modification of the phase and/or amplitude distribution, and these measures are used for deriving optimal focalisation characteristics that maximise the disturbance generated in the area of interest (6).

Method for rheological characterization of a viscoelastic medium, comprising the following steps: (a) an excitation step during which a vibratory excitation is generated in the viscoelastic medium leading to a deformation of the medium, (b) a deformation measurement step during which the deformation of the medium caused by the excitation is observed, (c) and a characterization step during which at least one non-zero power parameter y is determined such that a rheological parameter of the medium x is equal to x(f ) = a + b.fy, where f is the frequency, a is a real number and b a non-zero scale parameter.

摘要:
The inventive imaging method consists in generating a mechanical wave having shearing and compressional components in a viscoelastic medium and in determining the movement parameter of said viscoelectic medium at different points during the propagation of said mechanical wave. Said method comprises a correction stage when the movement parameter is processed for eliminating errors caused by the compressional component of the mechanical wave.
