Electromechanical wave imaging for noninvasive mapping of the 3D electrical activation sequence in canines and humans in vivo
27 January 2012
Elisa E. Konofagou, Jean Provost
Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases rank as America's primary killer, claiming the lives of over 41% of more than 2.4 million Americans. One of the main reasons for this high death toll is the severe la...

Measurement of strut chordal forces of the tricuspid valve using miniature C ring transducers
27 January 2012
Lauren G. Troxler, Erin M. Spinner, Ajit P. Yoganathan
Abstract: Tricuspid valve (TV) leaflets, papillary muscles (PM), and tendinous chords must work together to ensure proper coaptation. Alterations in valvular mechanics, including chordal forces, may l...

Hand breakaway strength model—Effects of glove use and handle shapes on a person's hand strength to hold onto handles to prevent fall from elevation
27 January 2012
Pilwon Hur, Binal Motawar, Na Jin Seo
Abstract: This study developed biomechanical models for hand breakaway strength that account for not only grip force but also hand–handle frictional coupling in generation of breakaway strength. Speci...

Solute transport across a contact interface in deformable porous media
27 January 2012
Gerard A. Ateshian, Steve Maas, Jeffrey A. Weiss
Abstract: A finite element formulation of neutral solute transport across a contact interface between deformable porous media is implemented and validated against analytical solutions. By reducing the...
