Abstract: A field theory is presented for the study of swelling in soft tissue structures that are modeled as poroelastic materials. As a first approximation, soft tissues are assumed to be linear ...

Abstract: The intervertebral disk (IVD) is the largest avascular structure in the human body. Transport of small molecules in IVD is mainly through diffusion from the endplates and the peripheral blood ...

Abstract: The integral-lift scaffolds are widely used in construction of tall buildings in Asia. However, the wind load on scaffolds may be much greater than dead load and be the dominant effect as the scaffolds climb over
