RISEffects of Tension-Compression Nonlinearity on Solute Transport in Charged Hydrated Fibrous Tissues Under Dynamic Unconfined Compression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cartilage is a charged hydrated fibrous tissue exhibiting a high degree of tension-compression nonlinearity (i.e., tissue anisotropy). The effect of tension-compression nonlinearity on solute transport ...
Novel Technique for Online Characterization of Cartilaginous Tissue Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The goal of tissue engineering is to use substitutes to repair and restore organ function. Bioreactors are an indispensable tool for monitoring and controlling the unique environment for engineered ...
Effect of Mechanical Loading on Electrical Conductivity in Human Intervertebral Disk
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The intervertebral disk (IVD), characterized as a charged, hydrated soft tissue, is the largest avascular structure in the body. Mechanical loading to the disk results in electromechanical ...
3D Finite Element Analysis of Nutrient Distributions and Cell Viability in the Intervertebral Disc: Effects of Deformation and Degeneration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The intervertebral disc (IVD) receives important nutrients, such as glucose, from surrounding blood vessels. Poor nutritional supply is believed to play a key role in disc degeneration. Several ...
