RISA Nonintrusive Method of Measuring the Local Mechanical Properties of Soft Hydrogels Using Magnetic Microneedles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soft hydrogels serving as substrates for cell attachment are used to culture many types of cells. The mechanical properties of these gels influence cell morphology, growth, and differentiation. ...
Comparison of Kinematics, Kinetics, and EMG Throughout Wheelchair Propulsion in Able-Bodied and Persons With Paraplegia: An Integrative Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A systematic integrated data collection and analysis of kinematic, kinetic, and electromyography (EMG) data allow for the comparison of differences in wheelchair propulsion between able-bodied ...
Mechanical Properties of a Reversible, DNA-Crosslinked Polyacrylamide Hydrogel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical properties of a polyacrylamide gel with reversible DNA crosslinks are presented. In this system, three DNA strands replace traditional chemical crosslinkers. In contrast to thermoset ...
Use of Rigid Spherical Inclusions in Young’s Moduli Determination: Application to DNA-Crosslinked Gels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current techniques for measuring the bulk shear or elastic (E) modulus of small samples of soft materials are usually limited by materials handling issues. This paper describes a nondestructive ...
Biomechanical Alterations in Intact Osteoporotic Spine Due to Synthetic Augmentation: Finite Element Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model (FEM) was developed for a parametric study that examined the effect of synthetic augmentation on nonfractured vertebrae. The objective was to ...
