A computational fluid dynamics modelling of maternal-fetal heat exchange and blood flow in the umbilical cord
(2020)Human fetal thermoregulation, maternal-fetal heat exchange, and the role of the umbilical cord in these processes are not well understood. Ethical and technical limitations have restricted current knowledge to animal ... -
Coupled FEA Model with Continuum Damage Mechanics for the Degradation of Polymer-based coatings on Drug-Eluting Stents
(2021)Drug-Eluting Stents (DES) are commonly used in Coronary angioplasty procedures to reduce the phenomenon of restenosis. Numerical simulations are proven to be a useful tool to the Bioengineering community in computing the ... -
Fatigue of textiles used in vascular surgery: Application to carotid endarterectomy
(2021)Fatigue is a material-based phenomenon playing a significant role in the mechanical behavior of components and structures. Although fatigue has been well studied for traditional materials, such as metals, its underlying ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Externally-Induced Sloshing in Horizontal-Cylindrical and Axisymmetric Liquid Vessels
(2009)Motivated by the earthquake response of industrial pressure vessels, the present paper investigates externally-induced sloshing in horizontal-cylindrical and axisymmetric liquid containers. Assuming ideal and irrotational ... -
Finite element modelling to expand the UMCCA model to describe biofilm mechanical behavior
(2005)In order to understand the influence of biofilm's physical and microbiological structures on its mechanical behavior, a finite element model that describes the structural mechanics of a composite solid is linked to the ... -
A homogenization model of the Voigt type for skeletal muscle
(2017)A three-dimensional constitutive model for skeletal muscle incorporating microstructural characteristics is developed and numerically implemented in a general purpose finite element program. The proposed model takes into ... -
On the effect of hydrogen on plastic instabilities in metals
(2003)Experimental observations and theoretical calculations have demonstrated that hydrogen solute atoms increase the dislocation mobility in metals and alloys, thus promoting highly localized plastic processes which eventually ... -
Passive strain-induced matrix synthesis and organization in shape-specific, cartilaginous neotissues
(2014)Tissue-engineered musculoskeletal soft tissues typically lack the appropriate mechanical robustness of their native counterparts, hindering their clinical applicability. With structure and function being intimately linked, ... -
Thermomechanical Modeling of Laser Spot Welded Solar Absorbers
(2015)A finite element (FE) approach is developed to investigate the laser spot welding (LSW) of flat-plate solar absorbers and the stress and distortion fields that develop after fabrication and during operation. Numerical ...
