In an effort for advancing helmet liners, this research investigated a design comprised of interconnected fluid-filled cell structures that consist of a primary cell connecting to one or more secondary cells through a channel. When the primary cell undergoes impact, it deforms and pushes the fluid from the primary to secondary cells, which expand accordingly. This fluid motion absorbs the impact and dissipates energy, thereby reducing the force and acceleration transfer to a contacting body. Structures made with two hyper elastic polymers, silicone and polyurethane, were investigated in simulation and experimentation. For both materials, increasing the number of secondary cells in the structure will decrease the amount of force transfer and resulting acceleration. The optimized design, with one primary and two secondary cells, showed reduction of force by 25.2% and resulting acceleration of 80.7 m/s2 when using silicone, while cells made of polyurethane showed a 33.5% reduction of force and resulting acceleration of 72.5 m/s2.

Heart attack could occur as a consequence of severe blockage in the artery. A definitive diagnosis of its severity is of great importance for physicians to decide the best treatment plan. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a procedure that adopts a sensor tipped guidewire to measure upstream and downstream pressures of the stenosis. It is considered the most accurate method to pinpoint the stenosis severity. In this procedure, the centerlines of the guidewire and blood vessel should be aligned together. Due to the long distance between its insertion point and the stenosis, a possible inclination of the guidewire can occur. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of guidewire inclination on pressure measurements. Three different degrees of severity are modeled with placing the guidewire at different inclination angles. Continuity and momentum equations of blood flow are stated and computationally simulated. Comparisons between calculated and available measured values show a good agreement. The ratios between pressure drop and distal dynamic pressure (CDP), and between pressure recovery coefficient and the area blockage (η) are calculated. The predicted results for each case are compared with the control case (without guidewire) and analyzed. The results aid in improving the FFR accuracy in diagnosis of stenosis severity.","PeriodicalId":332737,"journal":{"name":"Volume 3: Biomedical and Biotechnology Engineering","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122878341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arising from the sensor-artery interaction upon hold-down pressure on the sensor, a measured pulse signal is a combination of the sensor design, hold-down pressure, overlying tissue at an artery, the arterial wall and the true pulse signal in the artery. Meanwhile, motion artifact causes change in the sensor-artery interaction and also plays a non-negligible role in a measured pulse signal. The influence of motion artifact on a measured pulse signal can be reduced by a sensor with high stiffness. To obtain a pulse signal at near-zero transmural pressure with reasonable accuracy, matching the sensor design with the overlying tissue at an artery is critical for achieving good conformity of the sensor to the artery (for signal transmission) with minimal distortion of the true one in the artery. For simplicity, a uniform layer is utilized to adjust the sensor design. While a uniform layer added to a sensor improves its conformity with the radial artery (RA) embedded deep under the skin, a uniform layer is also needed as a cushion to reduce suppression of the true pulse signal at the superficial temporal artery (STA) near the skin. Due to inter-subject variation (i.e, overlying tissue and artery size), the absolute values of arterial indices derived from a measured pulse signal at the same artery are not comparable between subjects. Post-exercise recovery of arterial indices derived from measured pulse signals is suggested to serve as a better assessment of the cardiovascular (CV) system.","PeriodicalId":332737,"journal":{"name":"Volume 3: Biomedical and Biotechnology Engineering","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132451791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models are becoming more sophisticated and complicated due to the complex nature of the BMW composite structure with different material properties for each constituent phase. State-of-the-art studies, focus on employing techniques that combine information about the local axonal directionality in different areas of the brain with diagnostic tools such as Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Diffusion-MRI). The diffusion-MRI data offers localization and orientation information of axonal tracks which are analyzed in finite element models to simulate virtual loading scenarios.\u0000 Here, a BMW biphasic material model comprised of axons and neuroglia is considered. The model’s architectural anisotropy represented by a multitude of axonal orientations, that depend on specific brain regions, adds to its complexity. During this effort, we develop a finite element method to merge micro-scale Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) with orthotropic frequency domain viscoelasticity to an integrated macro-scale BWM finite element model, which incorporates local axonal orientation. Previous studies of this group focused on building RVEs that combined different volume fractions of axons and neuroglia and simulating their anisotropic viscoelastic properties. Via the proposed model, we can assign material properties and local architecture on each element based on the information from the orientation of the axonal traces. Consecutively, a BWM finite element model is derived with fully defined both material properties and material orientation.

Membranes were constructed from two porous polyimide sheets with offset pores and bonded with double sided tape with thickness values of 20 or 70 μm at the perimeter. The pores ranged in diameter from 0.25 to 1.0 mm and were cut using a laser micromachining apparatus. The pores were arranged in a square array with distance of 2 mm from center to center. The membranes were tested under pressure-driven water flow in the range of 0.01–0.10 m of H2O and flow rates were measured for two configurations: one with the thicker sheet upstream (forward direction) and one with the thinner sheet upstream (reverse direction) and the ratio of forward/reverse flow was calculated. In order to better understand membrane behavior, the maximum deflection of the thinner sheet was measured using an imaging system composed of a lens with small depth of field, digital camera, motorized linear translation stage, and a motion controller. Results show that in forward flow, by increasing hydrostatic pressure from 0.01 to 0.10 m H2O the mass flow rate increased by 40–55%. Conversely, increasing the hydrostatic pressure in the reverse direction from 0.01 to 0.10 m H2O considerably reduces the flow rate.

However, it is difficult to ensure the biofidelity of biological materials in formulating a mathematical model. In a freshly isolated aortic media, composed mainly of smooth muscle cell layers (SMLs) and elastic laminae (ELs), circumferential EL waviness and longitudinal EL undulation are often observed because of the structural “buckling” of ELs. This is considered to be closely associated with residual stresses of SMLs and ELs in the aortic wall but the mechanism underlying such EL buckling behavior remains unclear. In the present study, a series of numerical simulations were designed to identify effective mechanical parameters to reproduce EL buckling in the aortic media. We found that prestress initially administered to ELs in the circumferential and axial directions, and the predefined internodal distance, which couples the SML and EL, are essential to computationally reconstruct the circumferential EL waviness and the longitudinal EL undulation in an unloaded state. We also proposed a set of equations based on the numerical results and successfully predicted EL buckling behaviors of the aorta in vitro.","PeriodicalId":332737,"journal":{"name":"Volume 3: Biomedical and Biotechnology Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116846818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, when landing after a jump, or making sudden movement, women tend to turn their feet inwards to compensate for a greater bending moment and this can result in knee injuries.\u0000 This work involved using a prophylactic brace to retrain the muscle memory of the leg and thereby promote correct landing technique. The brace geometry was based on data collected from 20 previous women athletes and was 3D printed using ABS to allow some basic customization.
