Inverse modeling approaches in cardiovascular medicine are a collection of methodologies
that can provide non-invasive patient-specific estimations of tissue properties, mechanical …

Material identification is critical for understanding the relationship between mechanical
properties and the associated mechanical functions. However, material identification is a …

The left ventricle of the heart is a fundamental structure in the human cardiac system that
pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic circulation. Several valvular conditions can …

The actuator line method is implemented into a residual-based variational multiscale (VMS)
fluid modelling framework to simulate airflow around a wind turbine. In the actuator line …

The tricuspid valve ensures unidirectional blood flow from the right atrium to the right
ventricle. The three tricuspid leaflets operate within a dynamic stress environment of shear …

Approximately 1.6 million patients in the United States are affected by tricuspid valve
regurgitation, which occurs when the tricuspid valve does not close properly to prevent …

A numerical formulation for the modeling of turbulent cavitating flows is presented. The flow
field is governed by the 3D, time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations for a compressible …

Collagen fiber networks provide the structural strength of tissues, such as tendons, skin and
arteries. Quantifying the fiber architecture in response to mechanical loads is essential …

Over 1.6 million Americans suffer from significant tricuspid valve leakage. In most cases this
leakage is designated as secondary. Thus, valve dysfunction is assumed to be due to valve …

Current clinical assessment of functional tricuspid valve regurgitation relies on metrics
quantified from medical imaging modalities. Although these clinical methodologies are …
