Dynamic nonlinearity of lung tissue: frequency dependence and harmonic distortion

Harmonic distortion (HD) is a simple approach to analyze lung tissue nonlinear phenomena. This study aimed to characterize frequency-dependent behavior of HD at several amplitudes in lung tissue strips from healthy rats and its influence on the parameters of linear analysis. Lung strips (n = 17) wer...

Zusammenfassung:Harmonic distortion (HD) is a simple approach to analyze lung tissue nonlinear phenomena. This study aimed to characterize frequency-dependent behavior of HD at several amplitudes in lung tissue strips from healthy rats and its influence on the parameters of linear analysis. Lung strips (n = 17) were subjected to sinusoidal deformation at three different strain amplitudes (Δε) and fixed operational stress (12 hPa) among various frequencies, between 0.03 and 3 Hz. Input HD was
