This comes, however, with a number of shortcomings: artificial pressure oscillations, missing isovolumetric phases, and valve laws without precise continuous formulation. This paper is aimed at overcoming these three difficulties while still mitigating computational cost. A novel reduced model of valve dynamics is proposed in which unidirectional flow is enforced in a mathematically sound fashion. Artificial pressure oscillations are overcome by considering a fluid–structure interaction model, which couples bi-ventricular electromechanics and blood flow in the left cavities. The interface coupling is solved in a partitioned fashion via an unconditionally stable loosely coupled scheme. A priori energy estimates are derived for both the continuous coupled problem and its numerical approximation.

However, how the structure of the knitted pattern of synthetic meshes affects the mechanical behavior remains primarily theoretical. The objective of this study was therefore to assess the correlation between these key factors, identifying the most crucial morphological parameters able to support the design of new meshes. In this perspective, morphological parameters related to pore size, shape, and orientation were computed based on high-resolution images using the <i>poreScanner</i> app and the Matlab Image Processing toolbox. Additional parameters such as weight and thickness were measured through high-precision instruments. Concurrently, 12 mechanical parameters were assessed by executing a comprehensive testing protocol. Multivariate regression models were implemented, each using one to five morphological parameters as independent variables and one of the 12 mechanical parameters as dependent variables. A leave-one-out (LOO) validation algorithm was then employed to estimate the models' performance, robustness, and accuracy for potential future predictions. Regression models showed high coefficients of determination (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> ≥ 0.8), except for uniaxial strains (0.59 &lt; <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> &lt; 0.71). The LOO validation reveals good predictive capabilities (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> &gt; 0.65) for 5 out of 12 mechanical parameters, whereas moderate predictive capabilities (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> &gt; 0.55) for one model.

The purpose of this work was to devise an abutment shape that can be embedded into the crown while the crown is being additively manufactured. The result was a mechanically retained, no-adhesive abutment and crown unit that is mounted to the implant fixture. To generate the best internal shape for the new restoration design concept, a shape optimization method was developed using nTop software with the objective of pursuing low structural compliance (maximizing stiffness), withstanding mastication loads, and complying with the unique manufacturing constraints of the proposed design. The optimization results showed a 39% and 51% reduction in structural compliance for molar and incisor restorations. Validation finite element analysis (FEA) on the molar restoration was accomplished for comparison of the initial, optimized, and traditional Ti-Base screw-retained designs. Under vertical and angled loads, the optimized design reduced maximum Von Mises stress by 38% compared with the traditional design, and under upwards load, the optimized design reduced maximum principal shear strain along the abutment-crown joint boundary by 67%. A successful prototype was created using a stereolithography (SLA) printer for fit and form testing. The design concept in this study showed promise as an alternate method to join the two components, while removing the debonding failure mode and maintaining aesthetics and strength.

Through numerical simulations and a comparison of pore pressure results obtained from the proposed model and the Poiseuille flow approach in a benchmark problem, we demonstrate that the heterogeneous anisotropic model outperforms homogeneous models in predicting perfusion, particularly by accurately capturing the spatial heterogeneity of the poroelastic parameters and the permeability transitions from large vessels to microvessels.

We employed an Eulerian–Eulerian (full Eulerian) fluid–structure interaction (FSI) method to analyze the flow and deformation behaviors of a deformable torus in a cylindrical pipe. This method, based on the volume of fluid (VOF) method, is implemented in OpenFOAM and is verified by deformation tests with a visco-hyperelastic material in cavity flow.

Deformation analysis of cross-sections reveals multiple deformation modes such as bending, rotation, and elongation over time. The equilibrium position of the torus is determined by the balance of various lift forces and becomes complex due to increased rotational diameter from elongation. Additionally, vortex structures and pressure gradients elucidate the mechanism that inclined tori are faster than horizontally oriented tori due to their deformation. Finally, flow tests of different microparticle shapes with the same surface area in a stenotic pipe show that the torus has the lowest pressure drop and flow rate reduction.

Hence, understanding the mechanobiological changes of a bone cell seeded on the deformed scaffold needs to be specially focused. Therefore, twisted and non-twisted face-centered cubic scaffolds were modeled for identifying the changes in cellular mechanical stimulation at different locations of a scaffold. At first, a global computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was conducted to predict the permeability and fluid shear stress (FSS) of the scaffold; further CFD-induced pressure data was applied to the sub-scaffold finite element model to predict the mechanical responses of osteoblasts placed in different positions of the twisted and non-twisted scaffolds. The results indicated a decline in permeability as twist angles increased. While mechanobiological stimulation within the scaffold improved up to a certain twist angle, exceeding this threshold may reduce the effectiveness of mechanical stimulation.

To address the gap, this study developed a closed-loop multiscale computational modeling framework for the entire cardiovascular system. A novel “parameter assignment method” designed for diverse 0D peripheral vascular bed models across the entire cardiovascular system was proposed. Additionally, a mathematical modeling strategy was introduced to characterize cardiovascular parameters associated with hypertension across varying degrees of severity. Key findings from model-based studies indicated that in hypertension, there was early arrival and increased magnitudes of forward compression wave intensity and power (FCWI and FCWP), forward expansion wave intensity and power (FEWI and FEWP), and back compression wave intensity and power (BCWI and BCWP) in extra-intracranial cerebral arteries. The proximal aorta, however, exhibited delayed arrival of FCWI and FCWP but early arrival of BCWI and BCWP, along with negligible change in FCWI magnitudes and slightly increased BCWI magnitudes, significantly increased FEWI, FCWP, FEWP and BCWP magnitudes. Moreover, parametric studies demonstrated that progressively enlarging central large elastic arteries, increasing passive myocardial stiffness, and raising peripheral vascular resistance led to reduced magnitudes of FCWI, BCWI, FCWP and BCWP in cerebral arteries. Conversely, stiffening of central large elastic arteries and increasing myocardial contractility had opposite effects.

We hypothesized that performing MKO in 2D camera planes would make it more robust to missing keypoints and allow us to obtain better accuracy. 2D confidence heatmaps were used to maximize available information. To test this, we first model each network-derived heatmap as a 2D Gaussian function characterized by its center, amplitude, and standard deviation. Second, we maximize the sum of these modeled confidences after projecting the biomechanical model into the camera planes. To demonstrate feasibility, we evaluated our method on data from two participants performing sit-to-stand, walking, and manual material handling, captured by a two-camera setup, and simultaneously collected marker-based data. Our Gaussian modeling of the heatmaps demonstrated a mean absolute difference of 0.011 compared to the original discrete maps, confirming its validity. In terms of 3D joint positions and angles, the confidence-based MKO produced results similar to classical distance-based methods. Notably, the confidence-based approach overcame occultations: 89.3% of frames could only be obtained with the distance-based MKO due to missing keypoints, while the confidence-based MKO computed 100% of frames.
