A Fenestrated Balloon Expandable Stent System for the Treatment of Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In aortoiliac occlusive disease, atherosclerotic plaques can occlude the distal aortic bifurcation and proximal bilateral iliac artery and thus cause ischemia in the lower extremity. This is typically treated by restoring ...
Allometry of the Tendon Enthesis: Mechanisms of Load Transfer Between Tendon and Bone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several features of the tendontobone attachment were examined allometrically to determine load transfer mechanisms. The humeral head diameter increased geometrically with animal mass. Area of the attachment site exhibited ...
Thermal Pain in Teeth: Electrophysiology Governed by Thermomechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal pain arising from the teeth is unlike that arising from anywhere else in the body. The source of this peculiarity is a longstanding mystery that has begun to unravel with recent experimental measurements and, ...
Direct Estimation of Surface Strain Fields From a Stereo Vision System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Estimating strain on surfaces of deforming three-dimensional (3D) structures is a critical need in experimental mechanics. Although single-camera techniques excel at estimating deformation on a surface parallel to the ...
Translation of a Coated Rigid Spherical Inclusion in an Elastic Matrix: Exact Solution, and Implications for Mechanobiology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The displacement of relatively rigid beads within a relatively compliant, elastic matrix can be used to measure the mechanical properties of the matrix. For example, in mechanobiological studies, magnetic or reflective ...

Atomic Force Microscopy of Phase Separation on Ruptured, Giant Unilamellar Vesicles, and a Mechanical Pathway for the Co-Existence of Lipid Gel Phases
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Phase separation of lipid species is believed to underlie formation of lipid rafts that enable the concentration of certain surface receptors. However, the dynamics and stabilization of the resulting surface domains are ...

Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In aortoiliac occlusive disease, atherosclerotic plaques can occlude the distal aortic bifurcation and proximal bilateral iliac artery and thus cause ischemia in the lower extremity. This is typically treated by restoring ...
Regularization-Free Strain Mapping in Three Dimensions, With Application to Cardiac Ultrasound
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Quantifying dynamic strain fields from time-resolved volumetric medical imaging and microscopy stacks is a pressing need for radiology and mechanobiology. A critical limitation of all existing techniques is regularization: ...
