Abstract: Computational techniques are widely used for studying large artery hemodynamics. Current trends favor analyzing flow in more anatomically realistic arteries. A significant obstacle to such analyses ...

Abstract: The development of intimal hyperplasia at the distal anastomosis is the major cause of long-term bypass graft failure. To evaluate the suspected role of hemodynamic factors in the pathogenesis ...

Abstract: The transport of macromolecules, such as low density lipoproteins (LDLs), across the artery wall and their accumulation in the wall is a key step in atherogenesis. Our objective was to model ...

Abstract: The quantification of particle (platelet) residence times in arterial geometries is relevant to the pathogenesis of several arterial diseases. In this manuscript, the concept of “volumetric residence ...

Abstract: We present a Preston tube device that combines both total and static pressure readings for the measurement of wall shear stress. As such, the device facilitates the measurement of wall shear ...

Abstract: Biaxial testing has been used widely to characterize the mechanical properties of soft tissues and other flexible materials, but fundamental issues related to specimen design and attachment have ...

Abstract: Zebra mussels adhere tenaciously and gregariously to hard surfaces, thereby fouling water‐processing facilities and equipment. At present, there are few data on zebra mussel adhesion strength to common substrates. A rotating ...

Abstract: Zebra mussel (

Abstract: In order to understand the possible role that hemodynamic factors may play in the pathogenesis of distal anastomotic intimal hyperplasia, we carried out numerical simulations of the flow field ...
