Simulation of Soft Tissue Failure Using the Material Point Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding the factors that control the extent of tissue damage as a result of material failure in soft tissues may provide means to improve diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue injuries. ...
Strain Measurement in Coronary Arteries Using Intravascular Ultrasound and Deformable Images
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is responsible for the majority of myocardial infarctions and acute coronary syndromes. Rupture is initiated by mechanical failure of the plaque cap, and thus study ...
The Impact of Glenoid Labrum Thickness and Modulus on Labrum and Glenohumeral Capsule Function
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The glenoid labrum is an integral component of the glenohumeral capsule’s insertion into the glenoid, and changes in labrum geometry and mechanical properties may lead to the development of ...
Effect of ACL Deficiency on MCL Strains and Joint Kinematics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The knee joint is partially stabilized by the interaction of multiple ligament structures. This study tested the interdependent functions of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the medial ...
Validation of Finite Element Predictions of Cartilage Contact Pressure in the Human Hip Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Methods to predict contact stresses in the hip can provide an improved understanding of load distribution in the normal and pathologic joint. The objectives of this study were to develop and ...
Finite Element Implementation of Mechanochemical Phenomena in Neutral Deformable Porous Media Under Finite Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biological soft tissues and cells may be subjected to mechanical as well as chemical (osmotic) loading under their natural physiological environment or various experimental conditions. The interaction ...
Material Properties of the Axillary Pouch of the Glenohumeral Capsule: Is Isotropic Material Symmetry Appropriate?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inconclusive findings regarding the collagen fiber architecture and the material properties of the glenohumeral capsule make it unclear whether the material symmetry of the glenohumeral capsule ...
