RISRecent Advances in the Virtual Fields Method for Evaluating and Identifying Tissue Biomechanical Properties and Constitutive Parameters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. The derivation of material parameters for soft tissues has recently been transformed by advances in full-field measurement techniques providing high-resolution, volume-wide displacement data in soft tissues, ...
Atomic Force Microscopy Stiffness Mapping in Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a vital role in maintaining mechanical homeostasis in the aorta. We recently found that SMCs of aneurysmal aortas apply larger traction forces than SMCs of healthy aortas. This result ...
Design, Development, and Temporal Evaluation of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Compatible In Vitro Circulation Model Using a Compliant Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Phantom
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biomechanical characterization of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) has become commonplace in rupture risk assessment studies. However, its translation to the clinic has been greatly limited due to the complexity associated ...
