Parameter | Characterizes | Parameter type | Unit | Formula |
Natural Oscillation Frequency | Tone or State of Tension | State of Tension | [Hz] | F = fmax from signal spectrum (FFT) |
Dynamic Stiffness | Dynamic Stiffness | Bio-mechanical property | [N/m] | S = a1 ∙ mprobe / Δl a1 = max deformation m probe = probe mass |
Oscillation Logarithmic Decrement | Elasticity | Bio-mechanical property | - | D = ln (a1 / a3) |
Recovery time | Recovery time | Visco-elastic property | [ms] | R = tR - t1 |
Ratio of Recovery and Deformation time | Creep | Visco-elastic property | - | C = R / (t1 - tT) |
