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.

The Mechanical Behavior of a Mammalian Lung Alveolar Duct Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model for the mechanical properties of an alveolar duct is analyzed using the finite element method. Its geometry comprises an assemblage of truncated octahedral alveoli surrounding a longitudinal ...
A Mathematical Model for the Morphology of the Pulmonary Acinus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A computational method is proposed for the construction of a three-dimensional space-filling model of an acinar ventilatory unit. Its geometry consists of truncated octahedra arranged in a cuboidal ...
Relationships Between Alveolar Size and Fibre Distribution in a Mammalian Lung Alveolar Duct Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A finite element model, comprising an assemblage of tetrakaidecahedra or truncated octahedra, is used to represent an alveolar duct unit. The dimensions of the elastin and collagen fibre bundles, ...
