Abstract: Using either the principle of minimum energy or constant shear stress, a relation can be derived that predicts the diameters of branching vessels at a bifurcation. This relation, known as ...

Abstract: Bio-artificial tissues are being developed as replacements for damaged biologic tissues. Their mechanical properties are critical for load bearing applications. Current testing protocols for ...

Abstract: Determining arterial mechanical properties is important for understanding the work done by the heart and how it changes with cardiovascular disease. Ex vivo tests are necessary to apply various ...
