RISFinite Element Simulation of Proportional, Integral, and Derivative-Controlled Bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation of Porcine Spinal Muscle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Radio frequency ablation (RFA) of the medial branch nerve is a widely used therapeutic intervention for back pain originating from the facet joint. However, multifidus denervation is a well-known adverse effect of this RFA ...
Verification and Validation of an Autotuning Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controller for Spatially Confined Magnetic Particle Hyperthermia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. We have previously verified the capabilities of a prototype magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) heater (called HYPER) that can perform spatially confined heating; however, the design lacked temperature control capabilities. ...
Theoretical Simulation of Temperature Elevations in a Joint Wear Simulator During Rotations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical model to simulate temperature fields in a joint simulator for various bearing conditions using finite element analyses. The frictional heat generation rate at the ...
