Abstract:

<p> In traumatic brain injury (TBI), the skull-brain interface, composed of three meningeal layers: the dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater, along with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between the layers, plays a vital role in transmitting motion from the skull to brain tissue. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a noninvasive imaging modality capable of providing <i> in vivo</i> estimates of tissue motion and material properties. The objective of this work is to augment human and phantom MRE studies to better characterize the mechanical contributions of the skull-brain interface to impro

The need for the development of rigorous analytical models of the knee joint to clarify the role of mechanical factors in joint disorders such as that caused by meniscal tears, long been recognized. In response to this need, a general three dimensional nonlinear finite element model has been developed as part of this work and has been applied to the investigation of the meniscal responses when the joint itself is subjected to 3D complex loading.<br>The geometry of the model has been obtained from the results of in vitro measurements performed on three adult human knee specimens.

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is North America's leading killer for both men and women among all racial and ethnic groups. Almost 1 million North Americans die of CVD each year, which adds up to 42% of all deaths.<br>Numerous investigations point out that normal blood flow (hemodynamics) is essential to good health and many studies found that there is a relationship between the genesis and the progression of CVD with the locally irregular blood flow occurring in the diseased zones.<br>The study of hemodynamics in the cardiovascular system is therefore key to the understanding of CVD; its

Abstract:

<p> Intramedullary reaming is a technique used in orthopaedic trauma surgical procedures in which the intramedullary canal of a long bone is enlarged and prepared for the implantation of a nail to repair a fracture. Several complications of intramedullary reaming have been described in literature, including elevations in intramedullary pressure and temperature and damage to the blood vessels in the bone. However, the mechanics of intramedullary reaming in the human when performed by a surgeon have not been widely investigated. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the mechanics

Abstract:

<p> In the past several years, IMU’s have been widely used to measure the orientation of a moving body over a continuous period of time. Although, inertial navigation is a common approach for estimating the orientation, it greatly suffers from the accumulation of error in the orientation estimation. Most of the current common practices apply zero velocity update as a calibration method to address this problem and improve the estimation accuracy. However, this approach requires the sensors to be stationary frequently. </p><p> This thesis introduces a novel method of calibration for esti

Abstract:

<p> The theoretical modeling and computational simulation of human red blood cells is of interest to researchers for both academic and practical reasons. The red blood cell is one of the simplest in the body, yet its complex behaviors are not fully understood. The ability to perform accurate simulations of the cell will assist efforts to treat disorders of the cell. In this thesis, a computational model of a human red blood cell that combines preexisting mechanical and metabolic models is proposed. The mechanical model is a coarse-grained molecular dynamics model, while the metabolic model

Abstract:

Atherosclerosis is a term coined to describe a state in which arterial wall thickens due to the accumulation of fatty materials like cholesterol. Though not completely understood, it is believed to occur due to the accumulation of macrophage white blood cells and promoted by low density lipoprotein. Increase in accumulation of plaque leads to enlargement of arteries as arterial wall tries to remodel itself. But eventually the plaque ruptures, letting out its inner content to blood stream. The ruptured plaque clots and heals and shrinks down as well but leaves behind stenosis - narrowing of cro

Mitral valve repair, the preferred method of treating mitral regurgitation, is a demanding surgical procedure consisting of the resection and approximation of valve tissue. Operating on an arrested heart, the clinician is forced to predict closed valve shape and the effect of surgical modifications.

Abstract:

Bone resorption and bone-implant interface instability are two bottlenecks of current orthopaedic hip implant designs. Bone resorption is often triggered by mechanical bio-incompatibility of the implant with the surrounding bone. It has serious clinical consequences in both primary and revision surgery of hip replacements. After primary surgery, bone resorption can cause periprosthetic fractures, leading to implant loosening. For the revision surgery, the loss of bone stock compromises the ability of bone to adequately fix the implant. Interface instability, on the other hand, occurs as a resu
