Outline USNCCM-10 July 2009
Experimental Stress Visualization • Theory of Photoelasticity: • Mechanical birefringence, or, stress refringence • Light refracted along the principle stress axes. • Stress field related to materials’ refractive indices with the Maxwell’s stress optic law.

Gel seeding and image acquisition • Black Polystyrene nanoparticles (400nm) were seeded homogenously gel matrix. • Enough particles in catheter plane. • Infusion was done at 5μl/min (1hr). • ImageJ used to qualitatively ascertain the presence of displacement. Direction of infusion Seeded region Catheter Initial Image Final Image USNCCM-10 July 2009
Calculation of Cross-correlation function • Cross correlation function used to measure the displacement. • Double correlation used. • Initial window size of 128x128 and final size 64x64 pixels. • ISSN DPIV software was used. USNCCM-10 July 2009

Simulation of reflux Hypothesis: porosity increases near the catheter walls due to stress. Modeled with high porosity near the catheter walls. USNCCM-10 July 2009
Conclusions • Stress and displacement can affect transport in porous media due to positive pressure infusion. • Stress in agarose gel visualized experimentally using photoelasticity. • Novel method for experimentally measuring displacement in gel matrix was developed. • Maximum displacement 6.5μm. • Resolution (minimum displacement recorded): 0.5μm. • Finite element model for gel under infusion was developed using ADINA. • The experiments and simulated profiles match qualitatively. • Current model does not account for matrix deformation due to infusion.
