RISAnalysis of the Suitability of an Effective Viscosity to Represent Interactions Between Red Blood Cells in Shear Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many methods to computationally predict red blood cell damage have been introduced, and among these are Lagrangian methods that track the cells along their pathlines. Such methods typically do not explicitly include cell–cell ...
Multiscale Modeling of Cardiovascular Flows for Clinical Decision Support
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Patientspecific cardiovascular simulations can provide clinicians with predictive tools, fill current gaps in clinical imaging capabilities, and contribute to the fundamental understanding of disease progression. However, ...
Preliminary Design of Moment-Resisting Frame Buildings for Tolerable Financial Loss
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to transfer the current performance-based seismic assessment (PBSA) methodology to engineering practice by providing a preliminary design procedure denoted herein as the preliminary performance-based seismic ...
Simulations Reveal Adverse Hemodynamics in Patients With Multiple Systemic to Pulmonary Shunts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For newborns diagnosed with pulmonary atresia or severe pulmonary stenosis leading to insufficient pulmonary blood flow, cyanosis can be mitigated with placement of a modified Blalock–Taussig shunt (MBTS) between the ...
Wastewater Effect on the Deposition of Cohesive Sediment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the characteristics of sediment deposition with three levels of wastewater, different shear stress, and initial sediment concentration were investigated in an annular flume. Sediment used for experiments was ...
Moisture Reduction Factors for Shear Strength of Unsaturated Reinforced Embankments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the construction and testing of six 1-m-high model embankments constructed at three different gravimetric water content (GWC) values to study their performance and to validate a set of moisture reduction ...

An Efficient Assisted Bidirectional Glenn Design With Lowered Superior Vena Cava Pressure for Stage-One Single Ventricle Patients
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, the assisted bidirectional Glenn (ABG) procedure has been proposed as an alternative to the modified Blalock–Taussig shunt (mBTS) operation for neonates with single-ventricle physiology. Despite success in reducing ...
Optimization of Shunt Placement for the Norwood Surgery Using Multi-Domain Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An idealized systemic-to-pulmonary shunt anatomy is parameterized and coupled to a closed loop, lumped parameter network (LPN) in a multidomain model of the Norwood surgical anatomy. The LPN ...
Thermal Model of an Omnimagnet for Performance Assessment and Temperature Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An Omnimagnet is an electromagnetic device that enables remote magnetic manipulation of devices such as medical implants and microrobots. It is composed of three orthogonal nested solenoids with a ferromagnetic core at the ...
