Mechanical Characterization of Porcine Tricuspid Valve Anterior Leaflets Over Time: Applications to Ex Vivo Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical characterization of the ex vivo tricuspid valve (TV) continues to provide key insights into native valve function and the development of valvular diseases. However, experimental methods to characterize TV ...
On the Biaxial Mechanical Response of Porcine Tricuspid Valve Leaflets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Located on the right side of the heart, the tricuspid valve (TV) prevents blood backflow from the right ventricle to the right atrium. Similar to other cardiac valves, quantification of TV biaxial mechanical properties is ...
In-Silico Model Validation of Impact on a Composite Helmet Shell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical impact simulation plays a critical role in the development and improvement of helmet systems. Due to the curvature of the helmet, the selection of impact position on the helmet may affect the ability to correlate ...
Toward a Consistent Framework for Describing the Free Vibration Modes of the Brain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Frequency-domain analysis of brain tissue motion has received increased focus in recent years as an approach to describing the response of the brain to impact or vibration sources in the built environment. While researchers ...
Insights Into Regional Adaptations in the Growing Pulmonary Artery Using a Meso Scale Structural Model: Effects of Ascending Aorta Impingement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As the next step in our investigations into the structural adaptations of the main pulmonary artery (PA) during postnatal growth, we utilized the extensive experimental measurements of the growing ovine PA from our previous ...
A Method for Predicting Collagen Fiber Realignment in Non Planar Tissue Surfaces as Applied to Glenohumeral Capsule During Clinically Relevant Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Previously developed experimental methods to characterize microstructural tissue changes under planar mechanical loading may not be applicable for clinically relevant cases. Such limitation stems from the fact that soft ...
