Evaluation of an Elastomeric Honeycomb Bicycle Helmet Design to Mitigate Head Kinematics in Oblique Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Head impacts in bicycle accidents are typically oblique to the impact surface and transmit both normal and tangential forces to the head, causing linear and rotational head kinematics, respectively. Traditional expanded ...
A Systems Approach to Biomechanics, Mechanobiology, and Biotransport
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The human body represents a collection of interacting systems that range in scale from nanometers to meters. Investigations from a systems perspective focus on how the parts work together to enact changes across spatial ...
Enhancing Inhalation Drug Delivery: A Comparative Study and Design Optimization of a Novel Valved Holding Chamber
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an innovative approach to the design optimization of valved holding chambers (VHCs), crucial devices for aerosol drug delivery. We present the design of an optimal cylindrical VHC body and introduce a ...
Differences in Glenohumeral Joint Contact Forces Between Recovery Hand Patterns During Wheelchair Propulsion With and Without Shoulder Muscle Weakness: A Simulation Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The majority of manual wheelchair users (MWCU) develop shoulder pain or injuries, which is often caused by impingement. Because propulsion mechanics are influenced by the recovery hand pattern used, the pattern may affect ...
An Integrated Experimental-Computational Study of Vocal Fold Vibration in Type I Thyroplasty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Subject-specific computational modeling of vocal fold (VF) vibration was integrated with an ex vivo animal experiment of type 1 thyroplasty to study the effect of the implant on the vocal fold vibration. In the experiment, ...
A Novel Gait Event Detection Algorithm Using a Thigh-Worn Inertial Measurement Unit and Joint Angle Information
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the development and evaluation of a novel, threshold-based gait event detection algorithm utilizing only one thigh inertial measurement unit (IMU) and unilateral, sagittal plane hip and knee joint ...
A Comparative Study of Machine Learning and Algorithmic Approaches to Automatically Identify the Yield Point in Normal and Aneurysmal Human Aortic Tissues
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stress–strain curve of biological soft tissues helps characterize their mechanical behavior. The yield point on this curve is when a specimen breaches its elastic range due to irreversible microstructural damage. The ...
Flow Rate and Wall Shear Stress Characterization of a Biomimetic Aerosol Exposure System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current in vitro emissions and exposure systems lack biomimicry, use unrealistic flow conditions, produce unrealistic dose, and provide inaccurate biomechanical cues to cell cultures, limiting ability to correlate in vitro ...
