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.

Surfactant Transport Over Airway Liquid Lining of Nonuniform Depth
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerous effects (e.g., airway wall buckling, gravity, airway curvature, capillary instabilities) give rise to nonuniformities in the depth of the liquid lining of peripheral lung airways. The ...
Capillary-elastic Instabilities of Liquid-lined Lung Airways
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To model the competition between capillary and elastic forces in controlling the shape of a small lung airway and its interior liquid lining, we compute the equilibrium configurations of a ...
An Asymptotic Model of Unsteady Airway Reopening
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We consider a simple physical model for the reopening of a collapsed lung airway involving the unsteady propagation of a long bubble of air, driven at a prescribed flow-rate, into a liquid-filled ...
