Abstract: The mechanical behavior of the ventricular septal defect (VSD) occluder is strongly linked to complications following transcatheter closure of the VSD. Methods: A mechanical model of the VSD occluder was constructed by ...

Abstract: Long-span cable-stayed bridges usually adopt a semifloating system scheme to reduce the internal force of seismic response. However, the seismic measures based on conventional fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) cannot prevent ...
