Abstract: Restenosis after stent implantation is a major limitation of revascularization technique. Retrieving the stent safely and smoothly after the vascular remodeling is completed shows important clinical value. In this paper, ...

Abstract: It was found that fuel distribution in a hot high-speed transverse air stream differed greatly from that in a cold stream. In a hot air stream there exist two-phase fuel distributions, and ...

Abstract: The stationary response of multidegree-of-freedom (MDOF) strongly nonlinear system to fractional Gaussian noise (FGN) with Hurst index 1/2 < H < 1 is studied. First, the system is modeled as FGN-excited and -dissipated ...

Abstract: Many wake oscillator (or lift oscillator) models are limited to studying the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of linear structures excited by a constant-speed fluid flow. However, in wind engineering, real wind is typically ...

Abstract: Endoscopic closure has become the first choice for closing iatrogenic perforations. Previously, we reported a self-developed endoscopic multifiring clip applicator (EMFCA) system. In this paper, a new EMFCA system for ...

Abstract: Under the action of incoming flow, bluff body structure may experience vortex-induced vibration (VIV). Because the resonant VIV can cause strong vibration, potentially leading to structural damage, this work specifically ...

Abstract: Structurally retrievable drug-eluting stents may have valuable clinical applications because they do not leave any foreign materials inside the patient's body. This article presents a novel design of retrievable peripheral ...
