WraptMor: Confirmation of an Approach to Estimate Ligament Fiber Length and Reactions With Knee-Specific Morphology
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Knee ligament length can be used to infer ligament recruitment during functional activities and subject-specific morphology affects the interplay between ligament recruitment and joint motion. This study presents an approach ... -
Physiological Loading-Induced Interstitial Fluid Dynamics in Osteon of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Bone
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as “brittle bone disease,” is a genetic bone disorder. OI bones experience frequent fractures. Surgical procedures are usually followed by clinicians in the management of OI. It has ... -
Influence of Hydroxyproline on Mechanical Behavior of Collagen Mimetic Proteins Under Fraying Deformation—Molecular Dynamics Investigations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Molecular dynamics modeling is used to simulate, model, and analyze mechanical deformation behavior and predictive properties of three different synthetic collagen proteins obtained from RSC-PDB, 1BKV, 3A08, and 2CUO, with ... -
Biomechanics of Single Stair Climb With Implications for Inverted Pendulum Modeling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Step-by-step (SBS) stair navigation is used by those with movement limitations or lower-limb prosthetics and by humanoid robots. Knowledge of biomechanical parameters for SBS gait, however, is limited. Inverted pendulum ... -
Effect of Vessel Tortuosity on Stress Concentration at the Distal Stent–Vessel Interface: Possible Link With New Entry Formation Through Biomechanical Simulation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)A computational approach is used to investigate potential risk factors for distal stent graft-induced new entry (dSINE) in aortic dissection (AD) patients. Patient-specific simulations were performed based on computed ... -
How Can Biomechanical Multibody Models of Scoliosis Be Accurate in Simulating Spine Movement Behavior While Neglecting the Changes of Spinal Length?
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)This paper studies how biomechanical multibody models of scoliosis can neglect the changes of spinal length and yet be accurate in reconstructing spinal columns. As these models with fixed length comprise rigid links ... -
Paired Pressure–Volume Loop Analysis and Biaxial Mechanical Testing Characterize Differences in Left Ventricular Tissue Stiffness of Volume Overload and Angiotensin-Induced Pressure Overload Hearts
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Pressure overload (PO) and volume overload (VO) of the heart result in distinctive changes to geometry, due to compensatory structural remodeling. This remodeling potentially leads to changes in tissue mechanical properties. ... -
Intervertebral Disc Mechanics With Nucleotomy: Differences Between Simple and Dual Loading
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Painful herniated discs are treated surgically by removing extruded nucleus pulposus (NP) material (nucleotomy). NP removal through enzymatic digestion is also commonly performed to initiate degenerative changes to study ... -
In Vivo Based Fluid–Structure Interaction Biomechanics of the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)A fluid–structure interaction-based biomechanical model of the entire left anterior descending coronary artery is developed from in vivo imaging via the finite element method in this paper. Included in this investigation ... -
A Reduced-Order Computational Model of a Semi-Active Variable-Stiffness Foot Prosthesis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Passive energy storage and return (ESR) feet are current performance standard in lower limb prostheses. A recently developed semi-active variable-stiffness foot (VSF) prosthesis balances the simplicity of a passive ESR ... -
