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 Cellular Model of Lung Elasticity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanics of the lung parenchyma is studied using models comprised of line members interconnected to form 3-D cellular structures. The mechanical properties are represented as elastic constants ...
Gas Transport During Oscillatory Flow in a Network of Branching Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A transport coefficient was measured for a range of oscillatory flow conditions in a branching network of tubes. Measurements were made both across the first generation of a three-generation ...
Parametric Evaluation of Forced Expiration Using a Numerical Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical calculations were performed to study the influence of several physiologic parameters on a forced expiration. It was found that the axial distribution of airway compliance produced ...
The Effects of External Compression on Venous Blood Flow and Tissue Deformation in the Lower Leg
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: External pneumatic compression of the lower legs is effective as prophylaxis against deep vein thrombosis. In a typical application, inflatable cuffs are wrapped around the patient’s legs and ...
Performance Analysis of a Cardiac Assist Device in Counterpulsation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Performance of a cardiac assist device pumping chamber in counterpulsation was evaluated using numerical simulations of the unsteady, three-dimensional flow inside the chamber and an analytical ...
The Steady Expiratory Pressure-Flow Relation in a Model Pulmonary Bifurcation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experiments were conducted over a range of Reynolds numbers from 50 to 8000 to study the pressure-flow relationship for a single bifurcation in a multi-generation model during steady expiratory ...
A Fluid-Structure Interaction Finite Element Analysis of Pulsatile Blood Flow Through a Compliant Stenotic Artery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new model is used to analyze the fully coupled problem of pulsatile blood flow through a compliant, axisymmetric stenotic artery using the finite element method. The model uses large ...
Bioengineering Studies of Periodic External Compression as Prophylaxis Against Deep Vein Thrombosis—Part I: Numerical Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a numerical study of the technique of periodic external compression for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis. In the model the veins of the lower leg are ...
Bioengineering Studies of Periodic External Compression as Prophylaxis Against Deep Vein Thrombosis—Part II: Experimental Studies on a Simulated Leg
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this companion paper to “Part I: Numerical Simulations,” we report in vitro experimental studies performed on a simple model leg consisting of a “vein” of thin-walled latex tubing surrounded ...
Filling of Partially Collapsed Compliant Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Filling of a thin-walled, highly compliant tube in a partially collapsed condition is studied. The theory, based on one-dimensional flow, takes account of friction, longitudinal tension, and the ...
