ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Method for Large Elastic Deformations of Ventricular Myocardium: II—Prolate Spheroidal Coordinates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional finite element method for nonlinear finite elasticity is presented using prolate spheroidal coordinates. For a thick-walled ellipsoidal model of passive anisotropic left ventricle, ...
A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Method for Large Elastic Deformations of Ventricular Myocardium: I—Cylindrical and Spherical Polar Coordinates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional Galerkin finite element method was developed for large deformations of ventricular myocardium and other incompressible, nonlinear elastic, anisotropic materials. Cylindrical and ...
Residual Strain in Ischemic Ventricular Myocardium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Structural remodeling during acute myocardial infarction affects ventricular wall stress and strain. To see whether acute myocardial infarction alters residual stress and strain in the left ventricle ...
Left Ventricular Geometric Remodeling and Residual Stress in the Rat Heart
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Theoretical considerations and observations of residual stress suggest that geometric remodeling in the heart may also alter residual stress and strain. We investigated whether changes in left ...
Mechanics of Active Contraction in Cardiac Muscle: Part II—Cylindrical Models of the Systolic Left Ventricle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Models of contracting ventricular myocardium were used to study the effects of different assumptions concerning active tension development on the distributions of stress and strain in the equatorial ...
Mechanics of Active Contraction in Cardiac Muscle: Part I—Constitutive Relations for Fiber Stress That Describe Deactivation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Constitutive relations for active fiber stress in cardiac muscle are proposed and parameters are found that allow these relations to fit experimental data from the literature, including the ...
Passive Material Properties of Intact Ventricular Myocardium Determined From a Cylindrical Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The equatorial region of the canine left ventricle was modeled as a thick-walled cylinder consisting of an incompressible hyperelastic material with homogeneous exponential properties. The anisotropic ...
Closure to “Discussion of ‘Passive Material Properties of Intact Ventricular Myocardium Determined From a Cylindrical Model” (1996, ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 118, pp. 262)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Strain Softening in Rat Left Ventricular Myocardium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We investigated whether strain softening (or the Mullins effect) may explain the reduced left ventricular stiffness previously associated with the strain-history-dependent preconditioning phenomenon. ...
A Nonlinear Model of Passive Muscle Viscosity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The material properties of passive skeletal muscle are critical to proper function and are frequently a target for therapeutic and interventional strategies. Investigations into the passive ...
