Abstract: Blood flow in arteries often shows a rich variety of vortical flows, which are dominated by the complex geometry of blood vessels, the dynamic pulsation of blood flow, and the complicated ...

Abstract: In this paper the elasto/viscoplastic analysis of thin circular plates under large strains and large deformations is studied by the use of the finite-element method based on the membrane shell ...

Abstract: This paper presents properties of fire‐resistant (FR) steel for structural use. Because of the elements contained and its rolling process, FR steel retains strength at high temperatures compared with conventional structural ...

Abstract: The blood flow velocity near the central axis of the canine ascending aorta was measured with a hot-film anemometer. The cardiac output and the heart rate were controlled at will by means ...

Abstract: The stent design itself seems to be one of the factors responsible for restenosis. As a remedy, the present work attempts to perform a design optimization of coronary stents from a hemodynamic ...

Abstract: This work attempts to optimize stents that are implanted at the neck of coronary or cerebral aneurysms to effect a flow diversion. A two-dimensional version of the stent, which is a series ...

Abstract: This paper is to verify the fire resistance of columns made from fire‐resistant (FR) structural steel by means of a full‐scale loaded heat test and numerical analysis. Because of the elements contained, FR steel has higher ...

Abstract: Vapor sorption of volatile organic chemicals (VOC) to soil minerals becomes the dominant VOC sorption mechanism at low soil-water contents, but is not included in traditional VOC transport and fate models. A two-parameter ...
