Direct Estimation of Surface Strain Fields From a Stereo Vision System
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Estimating strain on surfaces of deforming three-dimensional (3D) structures is a critical need in experimental mechanics. Although single-camera techniques excel at estimating deformation on a surface parallel to the ... -
Tracking Joint Angles During Whole-Arm Movements Using Electromagnetic Sensors
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Electromagnetic (EM) motion tracking systems are suitable for many research and clinical applications, including in vivo measurements of whole-arm movements. Unfortunately, the methodology for in vivo measurements of ... -
Power Absorbed by the Standing Human Body During Whole-Body Vibration Training
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Absorbed power (AP) is a biodynamic response that is directly related to the magnitude and duration of vibration. No work has previously investigated the power absorbed by the standing human body during the exposure to ... -
Analysis of the Human Middle Ear Dynamics Through Multibody Modeling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)The dynamics of the human middle ear (ME) has been studied in the past using several computational and experimental approaches in order to observe the effect on hearing of different conditions, such as conductive disease, ... -
Computer-Controlled Biaxial Bioreactor for Investigating Cell-Mediated Homeostasis in Tissue Equivalents
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Soft biological tissues consist of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), a network of diverse proteins, glycoproteins, and glycosaminoglycans that surround the cells. The cells actively sense the surrounding ECM and regulate ... -
Characterization of Spatially Graded Biomechanical Scaffolds
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Advances in fabrication have allowed tissue engineers to better mimic complex structures and tissue interfaces by designing nanofibrous scaffolds with spatially graded material properties. However, the nonuniform properties ... -
Using an Impact Hammer to Estimate Elastic Modulus and Thickness of a Sample During an Osteotomy
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Performing an osteotomy with a surgical mallet and an osteotome is a delicate intervention mostly based on the surgeon proprioception. It remains difficult to assess the properties of bone tissue being osteotomized. ... -
Predictive Forward Dynamic Simulation of Manual Wheelchair Propulsion on a Rolling Dynamometer
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Research studies to understand the biomechanics of manual wheelchair propulsion often incorporate experimental data and mathematical models. This project aimed to advance this field of study by developing a two-dimensional ... -
Ankle Control in Walking and Running: Speed- and Gait-Related Changes in Dynamic Mean Ankle Moment Arm
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)The human foot–ankle complex uses heel-to-toe ground contact progression in walking, but primarily forefoot contact in high-speed running. This qualitative change in ankle control is clear to the runner, but current measures ... -
