RISDesign, Optimization, and Experimental Validation of a 3D-Printed Tympanostomy Tube Using Neural Networks and Simulated Annealing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. This study presents a data-driven framework for optimizing tympanostomy tube design to enhance fluid drainage efficiency and reduce drainage duration. Current commercial tubes often show inconsistent performance ...
Smart Kidney Stone Basket: A Proof of Concept With Digital Feedback Force Monitoring
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ureteroscopy with stone extraction devices is a common treatment for urolithiasis but carries risks, such as ureteral wall avulsion due to excessive withdrawal forces. These forces arise from friction between the stone ...

Experimental Characterization of Transient G-Forces in Spinal Fixation During Set Screw Failure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Pedicle screw fixation systems are essential for spinal stabilization, yet the transient g-forces generated during manual set screw torquing, a critical phase with implications for implant stability, remain poorly ...
Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulations of Peristaltic Contractions in Obstructed Ureter Flows
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ureteral peristalsis can be considered as a series of waves on the ureteral wall, which transfers the urine along the ureter toward the bladder. The stones that form in the kidney and migrate to the ureter can create a ...
