Recruitment Pattern in a Complete Cerebral Arterial Circle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Blood flow through a vessel depends upon compliance and resistance. Resistance changes dynamically due to vasoconstriction and vasodilation as a result of metabolic activity, thus allowing for more or less flow to a ...
On the Importance of Modeling Stent Procedure for Predicting Arterial Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stent-artery interactions have been increasingly studied using the finite element method for better understanding of the biomechanical environment changes on the artery and its implications. ...
Fracture Characterization of Human Cortical Bone Under Mode I Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A miniaturized version of the double cantilever beam (DCB) test is used to determine the fracture energy in human cortical bone under pure mode I loading. An equivalent crack length based datareduction scheme is used with ...
Allometry of the Tendon Enthesis: Mechanisms of Load Transfer Between Tendon and Bone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several features of the tendontobone attachment were examined allometrically to determine load transfer mechanisms. The humeral head diameter increased geometrically with animal mass. Area of the attachment site exhibited ...
Bond Strength of Thermally Fused Vascular Tissue Varies With Apposition Force
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surgical tissue fusion devices ligate blood vessels using thermal energy and coaptation pressure, while the molecular mechanisms underlying tissue fusion remain unclear. This study characterizes the influence of apposition ...
Subject Specific Carpal Ligament Elongation in Extreme Positions, Grip, and the Dart Thrower's Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study examined whether the radiocarpal and dorsal capsular ligaments limit endrange wrist motion or remain strained during midrange wrist motion. Fibers of these ligaments were modeled in the wrists of 12 subjects ...
Computational Prediction of Muscle Moments During ARED Squat Exercise on the International Space Station
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prevention of muscle atrophy caused by reduced mechanical loading in microgravity conditions remains a challenge for longduration spaceflight. To combat leg muscle atrophy, astronauts on the International Space Station ...
Erratum: “A Computational Method for Predicting Inferior Vena Cava Filter Performance on a Patient Specific Basis†[ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 2014, 136(8), p. 081003]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the followon research, we recently discovered that the patientspecific geometries used in our manuscript “Computational Predictions of IVC Filter Performance on a PatientSpecific Basis†were not correctly scaled. ...
Improving Accuracy in Arrhenius Models of Cell Death: Adding a Temperature Dependent Time Delay
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Arrhenius formulation for singlestep irreversible unimolecular reactions has been used for many decades to describe the thermal damage and cell death processes. Arrhenius predictions are acceptably accurate for structural ...
Experimental Factors to Be Considered in Electroporation Mediated Transdermal Diffusion Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss some of the primary experimental factors that should be considered when interpreting and implementing the published results of skin electroporation studies concerning measurements of mass transport ...
