The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and
computer readable media for monitored application of mechanical force to
samples using acoustic energy and mechanical parameter value extraction
using mechanical response models. One aspect of the subject matter
described herein includes a method for determining mechanical property
parameters of a sample. The method includes applying acoustic energy to a
sample to apply a mechanical force to the sample. The method further
includes measuring a response by the sample during the application of the
acoustic energy to determine a value for a first mechanical property
parameter of the sample. The method further includes measuring a recovery
response of the sample following cessation of the application of the
acoustic energy to determine a value for at least one second mechanical
property parameter of the sample. The method further includes determining
a value for at least one additional mechanical property parameter of the
sample based on a mathematical relationship between the first, at least
one second, and at least one additional mechanical property parameter.
