RISEvaluation of STEM Engagement Activities on the Attitudes and Perceptions of Mechanical Engineering S-STEM Scholars
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Since 2009, the mechanical engineering (ME) scholarship-science technology engineering and mathematics (S-STEM) Program at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) has provided financial support and program ...
Design of an Experimental Test System to Investigate Parameters Affecting Distal Tip Loads of Pacemaker and Defibrillator Leads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to design and evaluate a system to test the mechanical behavior of pacemaker and defibrillator leads. Over 300,000 pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) procedures are ...
A Novel In Vitro Testing Approach for the Next Generation of Transvenous Cardiac Leads: Buckling Behavior
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Manufacturers are constantly seeking to design new, better performing transvenous cardiac leads to prevent perforation of the heart by the lead tip. Currently, there is no standardized test method to measure the buckling ...

Identifying Critical Design Parameters for Improved Body Temperature Measurements: A Clinical Study Comparing Transient and Predicted Temperature Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Readily available store brand, or “home,” thermometers are used countless times in the home and clinic as a first diagnostic measure of body temperature. Measurement inaccuracies may lead to unnecessary medical visits or ...
Theoretical Simulation of Temperature Elevations in a Joint Wear Simulator During Rotations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical model to simulate temperature fields in a joint simulator for various bearing conditions using finite element analyses. The frictional heat generation rate at the ...
