Intravascular Ultrasound Image-Based Finite Element Modeling Approach for Quantifying In Vivo Mechanical Properties of Human Coronary Artery

In vivo cine intravascular ultrasound images show the coronary cross-sectional movement corresponding to different pressure loading conditions. Based on a finite element model, an iterative scheme was employed to determine the patient-specific mechanical properties of coronary arteries in vivo by matching coronary motion from the computational model and medical images.

Finite Element Modelling of a Cellular Electric Microenvironment

This paper presents a strategy for building finite element models of fibrous conductive materials exposed to an electric field (EF). The models can be used to estimate the electrical input that cells seeded in such materials receive and assess the impact of changing the scaffold's constituent material properties, structure or...

Lumped-Parameter and Finite Element Modeling of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

This work introduces two computational models of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction based on a lumped-parameter approach and finite element analysis. These models are used to evaluate the changes in the hemodynamics of the left ventricle and related vasculature induced by pressure overload and diminished ventricular compliance.

A Coupled Experiment-finite Element Modeling Methodology for Assessing High Strain Rate Mechanical Response of Soft Biomaterials

The current study prescribes a coupled experiment-finite element simulation methodology to obtain the uniaxial dynamic mechanical response of soft biomaterials (brain, liver, tendon, fat, etc.). The multiaxial experimental results that arose because of specimen bulging obtained from Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar testing were rendered to a uniaxial true stress-strain behavior when simulated through iterative optimization of the finite element analysis of the...
