A Shape and Size-Scaled Deep Learning Brain Injury Model for Near Real-Time Dynamic Impact Simulation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Efficient deep learning brain injury models enable large-scale, strain-based investigations of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Here, we extend a previous model based on a generic 50th percentile adult male brain ... -
Micro-Poro-Mechanical Modeling of the Lung Parenchyma: Theoretical Modeling and Parameters Identification
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Microporo-mechanical approaches can be employed to simulate the behavior of porous media, such as lung parenchyma, with respect to their microscopic morphological and mechanical features. In this work, we propose ... -
In Silico Model for Aseptic Loosening Prediction in Cementless Hip Stems: A Design of Experiments
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2025)Abstract. Hip arthroplasty is a common orthopedic surgery. Cementless hip prostheses are currently more common, especially in young and active patients. The number of procedures and revisions is expected to increase with ... -
Special Issue: NAMs in Biomechanical Engineering—What's in a NAM?
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)New approach methodologies, nonanimal methods, and novel alternative methods are all used to define the acronym for NAMs. While there may not be consensus on the words that made the acronym, there is certainly consensus ... -
Finite Element Study of Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Constructs Near Cervicothoracic Junction—Is T2 Modeling Necessary?
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Cervical spine finite element (FE) models often terminate at T1, which may introduce boundary-induced alterations, particularly at the cervicothoracic junction (C7–T1). This is relevant in multilevel anterior ... -
How Spinal Flexion Influences Fracture Morphology in the Porcine Spine
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Acute injuries to the spine, including slips and falls and motor vehicle accidents, most commonly occur when the spine is positioned in flexion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how spine ... -
Biomechanical Principles of Temporal Muscle Activation in Functional Movements: Implications for Stability and Movement Coordination
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Temporal coordination of muscle activation is a key determinant of mechanical control in functional movements such as lifting, gait, and sit-to-stand transitions. Although electromyography (EMG) research has ... -
Head Kinematic Measurements and Finite Element Modeling of Canadian Armed Forces Operators Firing Three Long-Range Rifle Configurations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) symptoms have been associated with repeated exposure to the recoil of long-range rifles. However, there is limited physical data on head responses to rifle recoil and no consistent ... -
Comparison of Two Different Finite Element Modeling Pipelines for Virtual Mechanical Testing of the Distal Third Metacarpal Bone in Thoroughbred Racehorses
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Condylar stress fracture of the third metacarpal bone (MC3) in Thoroughbred racehorses is a common catastrophic injury, and identification of horses at heightened risk remains subjective. Standing computed ... -
Dispersion of Intradiscally Injected Particles is Limited by Size
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2026)Abstract. Due to its avascular nature, treatment of degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is typically carried out via needle injection into the inner nucleus pulposus (NP) of the disc. Proposed treatments range ... -
