Downscale Finite Element Modeling of Aortic Valve Leaflets for In-Situ Estimation of Cell Level Mechanics

R. Buchanan[1], M. Sacks[1]
[1]Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA

As in all tissues, mechanical forces in the aortic valve (AV) modulate the constituent cell population’s physiology and biosynthetic activity. While advances have been made toward the understanding of this complex multi-scale relationship, the specific role that and extracellular matrix ... Read More

Thermo-Elastic Response of Cutaneous and Subcutaneous Tissues to Noninvasive Radiofrequency Heating

J. Jimenez-Lozano[1], P. Vacas-Jacques[1], W. Franco[1]
[1]Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA

Radiofrequency (RF) technology offers unique advantages for noninvasive selective heating of relatively large volumes of tissue. In this work, we present a mathematical model for selective non-invasive, non-ablative RF heating of cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue (with detailed fiber ... Read More

Modeling of Articular Cartilage Growth Using COMSOL

K. Manda, and A. Eriksson
KTH Mechanics
Royal Institute of Technology
100 44 Stockholm, Sweden

Articular cartilage is an avascular connective soft tissue in the diarthrodial joints and functions in a highly demanding mechanical environment. The degeneration or wear of the cartilage is a huge problem that effects millions of people every year. The long term objective of the ... Read More

Numerical Study on Mechanical Properties of Stents with Different Materials during Stent Deployment with Balloon Expansion.

P. Ghosh[1], K. DasGupta[1], D. Nag[2], and A. Chanda[1]
[1]School of Bio Science & Engineering, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal, India
[2]Mechanical Engineering Department, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal, India

The main reason for stent implantation is to provide mechanical support to the arterial wall. So it is important to consider the different mechanical properties of different stent materials while studying the stent implant’s efficacy. The present study gives a comparative overview of ... Read More

Fluid Structure Interaction Applied to Upper Aorta Blood Flow

J. Anza[1], and M. Esteves[2]
[1]Department of applied mathematics, University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, Spain
[2]University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, Spain

This work deals with the computer simulation of the blood flow, the arterial wall deformation and their 3D bidirectional interaction, including initial stresses and root displacements. The flow is laminar and steady with flexible walls modeled with a hyperelastic Demiray material model. ... Read More

Using Optical Flow Tracing of MRI Flow Artifacts to Validate CFD Findings

R. H. Lauridsen, S. Ringgaard, and S. Alberg Thrysøe
MR-Center
Aarhus University Hospital
Aarhus, Denmark

The aim of this study is to use tracking of flow artifacts in Magnetic Resonance Imaging of fluids to validate CFD. Phase Contrast MRI will also be used for comparison. The correlation between flow of the fluid and movement of the artifacts is investigated using an aorta flow phantom, ... Read More

Using Simulations to Evaluate the Proper Conditions of the in Vitro Culture of Bone Tissue

[1]University Stuttgart, Institute for Interfacial Engineering, Stuttgart, Germany
[2]Fraunhofer-Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB), Stuttgart, Germany

For the development of bioreactor systems, it is reasonable to develop working simulations, to avoid a lot \"trial-and-error\" experiments. Our research goal is the creation of functioning bone grafts for transplantation. Therefore stem cells get homogenously seeded into porous ceramic ... Read More

An Elastic and Hyperelastic Material Model of Joint Cartilage - Calculation of the Pressure Dependent Material Stress in Joint Cartilage

T. Reuter, and M. Hoffmann
fzmb GmbH
Research Centre of Medical Technology and Biotechnology
Bad Langensalza, Germany

In this paper we introduce a elastic and hyperelastic model to describe the pressure dependent material stress in joint cartilage. We used the pressure dependent E-modulus E = f(s) to calculate the material stress. E = f(s) is a degree 4 polynomial . The indentor was pressed 0.4 mm into ... Read More
