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 Numerical Study of the Shape of the Surface Separating Flow Into Branches in Microvascular Bifurcations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The shape of the separating surface formed by the streamlines entering the branches of microvascular bifurcations plays a major role in determining the distribution of red blood cells and other ...
Hemodynamics in the Left Atrium and Its Effect on Ventricular Flow Patterns
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present study, we investigate the hemodynamics inside left atrium (LA) and understand its impact on the development of ventricular flow patterns. We construct the heart model using dynamiccomputed tomographic images ...
Elastic Anisotropy of Trabecular Bone in the Elderly Human Vertebra
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knowledge of the nature of the elastic symmetry of trabecular bone is fundamental to the study of bone adaptation and failure. Previous studies have classified human vertebral trabecular bone as orthotropic or transversely ...
Quantifying Effect of Intraplaque Hemorrhage on Critical Plaque Wall Stress in Human Atherosclerotic Plaques Using Three-Dimensional Fluid-Structure Interaction Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent magnetic resonance studies have indicated that intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) may accelerate plaque progression and play an important role in plaque destabilization. However, the impact of ...
Cartilage Strain Distributions Are Different Under the Same Load in the Central and Peripheral Tibial Plateau Regions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is increasing evidence that the regional spatial variations in the biological and mechanical properties of articular cartilage are an important consideration in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis (OA) following ...
Comparison of Pedicle Screw Loosening Mechanisms and the Effect on Fixation Strength
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Screw loosening is a common complication in spinal fixation using pedicle screws which may lead to loss of correction and revision surgery. The mechanisms of pedicle screw loosening are not well understood. The purpose of ...
Design and Cadaveric Validation of a Novel Device to Quantify Knee Stability During Total Knee Arthroplasty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The success of total knee arthroplasty depends, in part, on the ability of the surgeon to properly manage the soft tissues surrounding the joint, but an objective definition as to what ...
Shape Analysis of the Femoral Head: A Comparative Study Between Spherical, (Super)Ellipsoidal, and (Super)Ovoidal Shapes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, MacConaill's classification that the articular surface of the femoral head is better represented by ovoidal shapes rather than purely spherical shapes is computationally tested. To test MacConaill's classification, ...
Investigation of the In Vitro Culture Process for Skeletal-Tissue-Engineered Constructs Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Experimental Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The in vitro culture process via bioreactors is critical to create tissue-engineered constructs (TECs) to repair or replace the damaged tissues/organs in various engineered applications. In the ...
The Effect of Quantitative Computed Tomography Acquisition Protocols on Bone Mineral Density Estimation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Osteoporosis is characterized by bony material loss and decreased bone strength leading to a significant increase in fracture risk. Patientspecific quantitative computed tomography (QCT) finite element (FE) models may be ...
