Abstract: This study examines the hemodynamics of the abdominal aorta during physiological changes in flow rates and pulse rate that occur under exercise and postprandial conditions. Hemodynamic measurements ...

Abstract: Thermal buckling is a problem that arises in the operation of continuous annealing lines for thin steel strips. In this paper finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out on the furnace ...

Abstract: Vessel geometry is commonly accepted as one of the primary factors influencing blood flow patterns. The vessels near the heart present a particular challenge because myocardial contraction creates ...

Abstract: The aim of this investigation was to achieve the first step toward a comprehensive model of the lymphatic system. A numerical model has been constructed of a lymphatic vessel, consisting of ...

Abstract: The infrarenal abdominal aorta is a common site for clinically significant atherosclerosis. As has been shown in other susceptible locations, vessel geometry, flow division rates, and pulsatility ...

Abstract: Arterial wall stresses are thought to be a major determinant of vascular remodeling both during normal growth and throughout the development of occlusive vascular disease. A completely physiologic ...
