Indentation Tests Based on Gelatin Phantom

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve the accuracy of biopsy, an accurate FEM model is quite essential. To get the coefficients of the puncture target material which will be used in the Abaqus FEM analysis, the paper performed indentation test on gelatin phantom which is more stable than normal biological tissue. The Neo-Hookean and the improved Kelvin constitutive model were used to describe the mechanical properties of gelatin phantom demonstrated in the tests, including the hyperelastic and viscoelastic characteristics, then least squares method was used to fit the experimental data, finally the parameters of each constitutive model were achieved, which will be used to establish the material model in the further Abaqus FEM simulation.
