Abstract:

Cardiovascular diseases account for one third of all deaths worldwide, more than 33% of which are related to ischemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction (MI). This thesis seeks to provide insight and understanding of mechanisms during different stages of MI by utilizing finite element (FE) modelling. Three-dimensional biventricular rat heart geometries were developed from cardiac magnetic resonance images of a healthy heart and a heart with left ventricular (LV) infarction two weeks and four weeks after infarct induction. From these geometries, FE models were established. To repre

Abstract:

Mitral valve disease is widely prevalent among pediatric and adult population across the world, and it encompasses a spectrum of lesions which include congenital valve defects, degenerative valve lesions, and valve dysfunction due to secondary pathologies. Though replacement of the diseased mitral valves with artificial heart valves has been the standard of care until early 1990's, current trends have veered towards complete surgical repair. These trends are encouraging, but current repair techniques are plagued with lack of durability and high rates of failure within 10 years after repair. Wi

Many variations of conveyor, facility, and trailer designs are available to aid the human operator in manual materials handling (MMH). This thesis describes an investigation to determine which of four different designs used in trailer MMH place the least physical stress on the human operator when unloading materials. Each trailer MMH design was evaluated by the criteria of biomechanical loading, working posture, physiological measure, and subjective rating of exertion. These four methods were used to generate four dependent measures: L5/S1 Compression Force, OWAS Action Category, mean heart ra

Abstract:

Valve function is commonly assessed by effective orifice area (EOA) estimates using equations derived from conservation of mass and energy. Errors have been found with the method due to difficulties in determining the valve’s coefficient of discharge (Cd). The Cd, a factor that corrects the EOA for losses in the valvular wake region, has been shown previously to vary with the Reynolds number and valve geometry. In this study, a Cardio-Vascular Duplicator (CVD) is used to determine the Cd for three types of mitral valves, operating in modes ranging from normal to severely stenotic. Since orific

Abstract:

As human dependence on electronic devices grows, there is an emerging need on finding sustainable power sources for low power electronics and sensors. One of the promising possibilities in this space is the human body itself. Harvesting significant power from daily human activities will have a transformative effect on wearables and implantables. One of the main challenges in harvesting mechanical energy from human actions is to ensure that there is no effect on the body itself. For this reason, any intrusive mechanism will not have practical relevance. In this dissertation, novel non-intrusive

The biomechanics of the equine hoof are not well understood. Therefore biomechanical models of the hoof were developed, using finite element analysis and finite deformation elasticity, to provide a means of analysing the mechanisms underlying hoof function and dysfunction. One goal of the research was to investigate the biomechanical effects of different hoof shapes. A parametric geometry model that could be configured to represent commonly observed variations in hoof shape was developed for this purpose.

Heart transplantation has enjoyed a spectacular success over the past 25 years. Prior to 1980 less than 350 operations were carried out with an overall one year survival of less than 60%. In 1995 more than 3,000 transplants were performed with a one year survival of 83%. However, growth and improved survival have both plateaued over the last few years; the former because of the falling donor supply and the latter, in part, because of the use of less suitable donors in an effort to offset the problem of supply.

The lack of suitable models for prediction of the vertebral body (VB) failure load for a variety of pathologies hampers the development of indications for surgical and pharmaceutical interventions and the assessment of novel treatments. Similar models would also be of benefit in a laboratory environment in which predictions of failure load could aid experimental design when using cadaveric tissue. Finite element modelling shows great potential but the expertise required to effectively deploy this technology in a clinical environment precludes its routine use at the present time.

Abstract:

Heart failure patients have dysfunction of the cardiac conduction system that contributes to a high burden of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. Heart failure has been associated with the inflammatory response, but it is unknown if inflammation is playing a role in the remodelling of the cardiac conduction system in heart failure. Inflammation has been shown to be present in the myocardium from failing hearts and it is known to have detrimental effects on cardiac function, inducing fibrosis, remodelling of ion channels and even arrhythmias.
