Boundary Element Method Analysis for the Bioheat Transfer Equation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the b oundary e lement m ethod (BEM) approach is applied to solve the Pennes (1948) bioheat equation. The objective is to develop the BEM formulation and demonstrate its ...

A Constitutive Theory for Biomembranes: Application to Epicardial Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present a new theoretically motivated experimental approach for identifying the functional form of a constitutive relation for any nonlinear, anisotropic pseudoelastic biological membrane. The ...
Estimation of Organ Transport Function: Model-Free Deconvolution by Recursive Quadratic Programming Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A model-free deconvolution method is proposed for evaluating the frequency distribution function of organ transit times. The deconvolution is treated as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem ...
Wall Shear Stress Estimates in Coronary Artery Constrictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wall shear stress estimates from laminar boundary layer theory were found to agree fairly well with the magnitude of shear stress levels along coronary artery constrictions obtained from solutions ...
A Model for Estimating Corneal Stiffness Using an Indenter
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A finite element model that simulates indentation of the cornea was generated to examine the feasibility of using indentation data to determine mechanical properties. A layered model which ...
Computer Simulation of Occupant Neck Response to Airbag Deployment in Frontal Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mathematical simulation was performed to study the potential of head and neck injury to an unbelted driver restrained by an airbag. The baseline study represented a 50th percentile male dummy ...
Mechanical Properties of the Rabbit Patellar Tendon
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanical and structural properties of the patellar tendon fascicle-bone units of rabbit knees were determined by tensile tests, particularly focusing on their local differences. There were ...
A Force-Indentation Relationship for Gymnastic Mats
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanical properties of a series of gymnastic surfaces are investigated. A Force–Indentation relationship is obtained for each surface. This law can be used to simulate the ground reaction ...
A Parametric Study of the Thoracic Injury Potential of Basic Taekwondo Kicks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A parametric investigation of the thoracic injury potential of basic taekwondo kicks was conducted through the use of computer simulations. Linkage-based models were employed to simulate the ...
