Numerical and Analytical Simulation of the Growth of Amyloid-β Plaques
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical and analytical solutions were employed to calculate the radius of an amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque over time. To the author's knowledge, this study presents the first model simulating the growth of Aβ plaques. Findings ...
Simulation of the Childbirth Process in LS-DYNA
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Childbirth or labor, as the final phase of a pregnancy, is a biomechanical process that delivers the fetus from the uterus. It mainly involves two important biological structures in the mother, the uterus—generating the ...
Sensitivity of Phonation Onset Pressure to Vocal Fold Stiffness Distribution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Phonation onset is characterized by the unstable growth of vocal fold (VF) vibrations that ultimately results in self-sustained oscillation and the production of modal voice. Motivated by histological studies, much research ...
A Graphical Approach to Visualize and Interpret Biochemically Coupled Biomechanical Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The last decade has seen the emergence of progressively more complex mechanobiological models, often coupling biochemical and biomechanical components. The complexity of these models makes interpretation difficult, and ...
Long-Term Effects of Reproduction and Lactation on the Rat Supraspinatus Tendon and Proximal Humerus
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, women undergo hormonal fluctuations required for fetal development, parturition, and infant growth. These changes have secondary consequences on the maternal musculoskeletal system, ...
LinFlo-Net: A Two-Stage Deep Learning Method to Generate Simulation Ready Meshes of the Heart
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present a deep learning model to automatically generate computer models of the human heart from patient imaging data with an emphasis on its capability to generate thin-walled cardiac structures. Our method works by ...
Building Entrepreneurial Mindset: Motivating Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value in an Assistive-Device Design Project
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Developing entrepreneurial mindset (EM) can help students understand the bigger picture, recognize opportunities, and learn from mistakes to create value. The purpose of this work was to promote EM development in a required ...
The Effect of Menopause on Vaginal Tissue Mechanics: A Brief Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Often called “the change of life,” menopause affects every part of a woman's body. As the sex hormones decrease, the reproductive organs experience the most remarkable changes, with the vagina becoming thinner, drier, and ...
Exogenous Collagen Crosslinking is Highly Detrimental to Articular Cartilage Lubrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Healthy articular cartilage is a remarkable bearing material optimized for near-frictionless joint articulation. Because its limited self-repair capacity renders it susceptible to osteoarthritis (OA), approaches to reinforce ...
Comparison of the Kinematics and Laxity of Total Knee Arthroplasty Bearing Designs Stabilized With Specimen-Specific Virtual Ligaments on a Joint Motion Simulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A variety of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs offer increased congruency bearing options, primarily to compensate for a loss of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) function. However, their efficacy in providing sufficient ...
