In Vivo Serial MRI-Based Models and Statistical Methods to Quantify Sensitivity and Specificity of Mechanical Predictors for Carotid Plaque Rupture: Location and Beyond
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It has been hypothesized that mechanical risk factors may be used to predict future atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Truly predictive methods for plaque rupture and methods to identify the best ...
Using Zernike Moments and SVM for Traffic Sign Recognition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Microfluidic Bubble Generation by Acoustic Field for Mixing Enhancement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We demonstrate the bubble generation in a microfluidic channel by both experimental observation and numerical simulations. The microfluidic channel contains a nozzle-shaped actuation chamber with ...
Steady Flow and Wall Compression in Stenotic Arteries: A Three-Dimensional Thick-Wall Model With Fluid–Wall Interactions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Severe stenosis may cause critical flow and wall mechanical conditions related to artery fatigue, artery compression, and plaque rupture, which leads directly to heart attack and stroke. The ...
Effect of a Lipid Pool on Stress/Strain Distributions in Stenotic Arteries: 3-D Fluid-Structure Interactions (FSI) Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nonlinear 3-D models with fluid-structure interactions (FSI) based on in vitro experiments are introduced and solved by ADINA to perform flow and stress/strain analysis for stenotic arteries with ...
Patient-Specific MRI-Based 3D FSI RV/LV/Patch Models for Pulmonary Valve Replacement Surgery and Patch Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A patient-specific right/left ventricle and patch (RV/LV/patch) combination model with fluid-structure interactions (FSIs) was introduced to evaluate and optimize human pulmonary valve replacement/insertion ...
Quantifying Effect of Intraplaque Hemorrhage on Critical Plaque Wall Stress in Human Atherosclerotic Plaques Using Three-Dimensional Fluid-Structure Interaction Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent magnetic resonance studies have indicated that intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) may accelerate plaque progression and play an important role in plaque destabilization. However, the impact of ...
A Model for Lubrication by Oil-in-Water Emulsions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model for oil-in-water emulsion has been developed in this paper. A group of viscosity coefficients transiting smoothly and incessantly from the thick film region to the thin film region is ...
Fabrication and Experimental Characterization of Nanochannels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanofluidics is the science and technology involving a fluid flowing in or around structures with a least one dimension in the nanoscale, which is defined as the range from 1 nm to 100 nm. ...
Using In Vivo Cine and 3D Multi-Contrast MRI to Determine Human Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Material Properties and Circumferential Shrinkage Rate and Their Impact on Stress/Strain Predictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In vivo magnetic resonance image (MRI)-based computational models have been introduced to calculate atherosclerotic plaque stress and strain conditions for possible rupture predictions. However, ...
