Abstract: It has come to our attention that Eq. 16 in our paper is incorrectly listed as identical to Eq. (13). With the thought that it is never too late to get it right, and there is always ...

Abstract: The endothelial cells (ECs) lining a blood vessel wall are exposed to both the wall shear stress (WSS) of blood flow and the circumferential strain (CS) of pulsing artery wall motion. These ...

Abstract: A biphasic, anisotropic elastic model of the aortic wall is developed and compared to literature values of experimental measurements of vessel wall radii, thickness, and hydraulic conductivity ...

Abstract: To determine the macromolecular transport properties of the tunica media of an artery wall deformed inhomogeneously by the transmural pressure, we combine a simple mechano-hydraulic model based ...

Abstract: Hemodynamics plays an important role in cardiovascular physiology and pathology. Pulsatile flow (Q), pressure (P), and diameter (D) waveforms exert wall shear stress (WSS), normal stress, and ...

Abstract: Evaluation of cavitation in vivo is often based on recordings of high-pass filtered random high-frequency pressure fluctuations. We hypothesized that cavitation signal components are more appropriately ...

Abstract: Particle image velocimetry (PIV) has been gaining acceptance as a routine tool to evaluate the flow fields associated with fluid mechanical devices. We have developed algorithms to investigate ...

Abstract: In order to bridge the gap of existing artificial heart technology to the diverse needs of the patient population, we have been investigating the viability of a scaled-down design of the ...

Abstract: A method for real-time in vitro observation of cavitation on a prosthetic heart valve has been developed. Cavitation of four blood analog fluids (distilled water, aqueous glycerin, aqueous ...
