With the aim to model the propagation of sound pressure emitted by a source, based on the postulates of Far from equilibrium thermodynamics theory, a wave equation was constructed. The equation obtained is a classic generalized wave equation adding dissipative behavior as a function of the media in which wave propagates. The new equation is of Maxwell-Cattaneo-Vernotte type. Also, an experimental activity was realized and the results were in accordance with theoretical solution of the new differential equation.
Using LabVIEW software, we built a set of images corresponding to cardiac sounds associated to diagnosed cardiac diseases. This constitutes an image database which facilitates phonocardiograms interpretation, also we made the correlation with diseases and the possible causes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
