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.

Effect of Hydration on Healthy Intervertebral Disk Mechanical Stiffness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The intervertebral disk has an excellent swelling capacity to absorb water, which is thought to be largely due to the high proteoglycan composition. Injury, aging, degeneration, and diurnal loading are all noted by a ...
Relative Nucleus Pulposus Area and Position Alter Disk Joint Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aging and degeneration of the intervertebral disk are noted by changes in tissue composition and geometry, including a decrease in nucleus pulposus (NP) area. The NP centroid is positioned slightly posterior of the disk's ...
Intervertebral Disc Mechanics With Nucleotomy: Differences Between Simple and Dual Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Painful herniated discs are treated surgically by removing extruded nucleus pulposus (NP) material (nucleotomy). NP removal through enzymatic digestion is also commonly performed to initiate degenerative changes to study ...
Relative Nucleus Pulposus Area and Position Alter Disk Joint Mechanics
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aging and degeneration of the intervertebral disk are noted by changes in tissue composition and geometry, including a decrease in nucleus pulposus (NP) area. The NP centroid is positioned slightly posterior of the disk's ...
Torque- and Muscle-Driven Flexion Induce Disparate Risks of In Vitro Herniation: A Multiscale and Multiphasic Structure-Based Finite Element Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The intervertebral disc is a complex structure that experiences multiaxial stresses regularly. Disc failure through herniation is a common cause of lower back pain, which causes reduced mobility and debilitating pain, ...
