A New System Design for Measuring Vibration Effect in Live Tissues

Different researches have been conducted in order to make the interpretation of tissues belonging to different individuals carrying different characteristics. These investigations are generally based on vibration signals. In the studies in the literature, the vibration signals that usually appear in the vocal cords during speech are examined. However, there is no study on vibration signals recorded by applying any vibration source. The investigation of the frequency characteristics of the vibration source which has a fixed frequency on the tissues is of great importance both for the information about the tissue and the investigation of the related diseases. In this study, it is aimed to design the user interface to measure the vibration signals taken from certain distances to the vibration source applying vibration at a constant frequency to the living tissues determined on the human face and to analyze these vibration signals. The first part of the equipment consists of a motor and a drive part that provides vibration. Another part consists of accelerometer sensors and drives in MEMs structure which enable the detection of vibrations at certain points of the face region. The control of the hardware is carried out with a microcontroller-based module. With the help of this designed device, it is thought that vibration signals from living tissues can help soft and hardness interpretation of related tissues and body conductivity interpretation of related tissues can be done in future studies.
