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.

Transverse Compression of Tendons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A study was made of the deformation of tendons when compressed transverse to the fiberaligned axis. Bovine digital extensor tendons were compression tested between flat rigid plates. The methods included: in situ imagebased ...
Viscoelasticity of Tendons Under Transverse Compression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tendons are highly anisotropic and also viscoelastic. For understanding and modeling their 3D deformation, information is needed on their viscoelastic response under off-axis loading. A study was made, therefore, of creep ...
