Spectral Bandedness in High-Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics Predicts Rupture Status in Intracranial Aneurysms
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Recent studies using high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have revealed high-frequency flow instabilities consistent with clinical reports of bruits and “musical murmurs”, which have been speculated to contribute ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Parameters Affecting High-Frequency Irreversible Electroporation for Prostate Cancer Ablation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)While the primary goal of focal therapy for prostate cancer (PCa) is conserving patient quality of life by reducing oncological burden, available modalities use thermal energy or whole-gland radiation which can damage ... -
Coronary Artery Stenting Affects Wall Shear Stress Topological Skeleton
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Despite the important advancements in the stent technology for the treatment of diseased coronary arteries, major complications still affect the postoperative long-term outcome. The stent-induced flow disturbances, and ... -
Mechanical Deformation of Peripapillary Retina in Response to Acute Intraocular Pressure Elevation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) may cause mechanical injuries to the optic nerve head (ONH) and the peripapillary tissues in glaucoma. Previous studies have reported the mechanical deformation of the ONH and the ... -

ANNUAL SPECIAL ISSUE “Journal of Biomechanical Engineering—Year(s) in Review”
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)For multiple years, the previous ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering Editors-in-Chief, Dr. Victor Barocas and Dr. Beth Winkelstein, provided a Year in Review editorial, essentially a “state of the union” address about ... -
Selection Methodology of Femoral Stems According to the Cross Section and the Maximum Stresses
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)The maximum stresses on a femoral stem must be known for selecting the right size and shape of the shaft cross-sectional area for reducing the stress shielding effect generated after the total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgical ... -
Reaction Forces and Flexion–Extension Moments Imposed on Functional Spinal Units With Constrained and Unconstrained In Vitro Testing Systems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)A mechanical goal of in vitro testing systems is to minimize differences between applied and actual forces and moments experienced by spinal units. This study quantified the joint reaction forces and reaction flexion–extension ... -
Characterizing the Mechanical and Viscoelastic Response of the Porcine Facet Joint Capsule Ligament in Response to a Simulated Impact
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)The facet capsule ligament (FCL) is a structure in the lumbar spine that constrains motions of the vertebrae. Subfailure loads can produce microdamage resulting in increased laxity, decreased stiffness, and altered ... -
