Nguyen, Phuc Hoang (2014-08-07)The inherent complexity of the mammalian systemic arterial system has presented numerous challenges to relating basic vascular biology to clinically-relevant derangements of blood pressures and flows. The field of biomechanics ...
-
Dongaonkar, Ranjeet Manohar (2009-05-15)Although the physics of interstitial fluid balance is relatively well understood, clinical options for the treatment of edema, the accumulation of fluid in the interstitium, are limited. Two related reasons for this failure ...
-
Bergerson, Christine M (2015-12-16)The field of biomechanics seeks to explain natural phenomena in the terms of classic engineering. Its theories are commonly applied to the motion and structure of an organism, and from that basis we can analyze and design ...
-
Kotiya, Akhilesh A. (Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Characterization of multiaxial mechanical properties of cardiovascular soft tissue is essential in order to better understand their growth and remodeling in homeostatic conditions and in response to injury or pathological ...
-
David, Fredegusto Guido (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Changes in the mechanics of the lens capsule of the eye arising from alterations of its native configuration can lead to undesirable clinical results. One example is the surgical introduction of a hole into the lens capsule ...
-
Umakanthan, Saravanan (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)In finite elasticity, while developing representation for stress, it is customary to require the reference configuration to be stress free. This study relaxes this requirement and develops representations for stress from ...
-
Joshi, Sunnie (2012-10-19)This dissertation focuses on a novel approach for characterizing the mechanical behavior of an elastic body. In particular, we develop a mathematical tool for the estimation of residual stress field in an elastic body that ...
-
Reza, Gabriel Alejandro (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)To find a relationship between moment versus curvature in a traction-free ovine artery, a pure moment was applied to a radially cut ovine artery (length 50.23 mm). The curvature of the segment opposite the cut was calculated ...
-
Hu, Jin-Jia (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Hypertension is a risk factor for many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke. It is therefore important to understand the effect of hypertension on temporal growth and remodeling ...
-
Aghassibake, Kristina Diane (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)While it is clear that myocardium responds to mechanical stimuli, it is unknown whether myocytes transduce stress or strain. It is also unknown whether myofibers maintain lateral connectivity or move freely over one another ...
-
Hegde, Bharati Krishna (2009-06-02)Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a major fatal disease today in the United States. The heart's function is a mechanical one. To diagnose and treat CHF effectively there is a need to understand at the microstructural level, ...
