Contact Stress Gradient Detection Limits of Pressensor Film
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fuji Pressensor film has been widely used for measurement of contact stresses in articular joints. In relatively smooth contact fields, measurement errors are reported to be in the range of ...
Effects of Arterial Compliance and Non-Newtonian Rheology on Correlations Between Intimal Thickness and Wall Shear
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A minimally diseased (mean intimal thickness = 56 μm) human aortic bifurcation was replicated in rigid and compliant flow-through casts. Both casts were perfused with physiological flow waves ...
Convective Mass Transfer Effects on the Intracellular Calcium Response of Endothelial Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Endothelial cells, which line the vasculature, respond to specific agonists such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by elevating cytosolic calcium levels and increasing production of the vasoactive ...
Cardiac Mechanics in the Stage-16 Chick Embryo
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical model is presented for the tubular heart of the stage-16 chick embryo (2.3 days of a 21-day incubation period). The model is a thick-walled, pseudoelastic cylindrical shell composed ...
The Effects of Large Blood Vessels on Temperature Distributions During Simulated Hyperthermia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several three-dimensional vascular models have been developed to study the effects of adding equations for large blood vessels to the traditional bioheat transfer equation of Pennes when simulating ...
Flow Studies in Canine Artery Bifurcations Using a Numerical Simulation Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Three-dimensional flows through canine femoral bifurcation models were predicted under physiological flow conditions by solving numerically the time-dependent threedimensional Navier-stokes equations. ...
Non-Newtonian Flow Patterns Associated With an Arterial Stenosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A non-Newtonian constitutive equation for blood has been introduced in this paper. Using this equation, blood flow attributes such as velocity profiles, flowrate, pressure gradient, and wall shear ...
The Distribution of Fluid Forces on Model Arterial Endothelium Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical calculations are used in conjunction with linear perturbation theory to analyze the problem of laminar flow of an incompressible fluid over a wavy surface which approximates a monolayer ...
In Vivo Measurement of Leukocyte Viscosity During Capillary Plugging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Leukocyte plugging of capillaries in vivo was measured in rat spinotrapezius muscle. The plug durations, leukocyte and capillary dimensions, and arteriolar pressure at the plug sites were applied ...
The Variation of Isometric Energy Rates With Muscle Length: A Distribution-Moment Model Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Distribution-Moment Model of skeletal muscle, which has been enhanced recently to make possible the calculation of chemical energy release (Ė) and heat production (Ḣ) rates [1], is applied ...
