A Model for Estimating Corneal Stiffness Using an Indenter
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A finite element model that simulates indentation of the cornea was generated to examine the feasibility of using indentation data to determine mechanical properties. A layered model which ...
Constitutive Modeling of Porcine Coronary Arteries Using Designed Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The development of new coronary artery constitutive models is of critical importance in the design and analysis of coronary replacement grafts. In this study, a two-parameter logarithmic complementary ...
Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 Are Associated With High Stresses Predicted Using a Nonlinear Heterogeneous Model of Arteries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Arteries adapt to their mechanical environment by undergoing remodeling of the structural scaffold via the action of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Cell culture studies have shown that stretching ...
