A numerical homogenization procedure for deriving the constitutive relations of the trabeculated embryonic myocardium is presented. This procedure is based on voxel modeling, nonlinear Finite Element analysis, and nonlinear data regression. Voxel reconstructions derived from digitized serial sections are used to construct local Finite Element meshes (called Representative Volume Elements) of the trabeculated myocardial wall. The orientation of the myofibrils is approximated by the geometrical skeleton of the voxel model. A 3-D nonlinear Finite Element research code, designed for modeling incompressible hyperelastic materials and capable of representing muscle activation and volumetric growth, is used to compute the mechanical response of the RVE. Bi-axial stretching experiments designed to generate tri-axial stress states are performed to compute the averaged stress-strain relations under passive and active conditions. New Strain Energy Density functions - both passive and active - are proposed for the RVE. A multi-dimensional Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear regression is performed on the stress-strain data to yield the unknown parameters in the SED functions. The reliability and predictability of the computed functions is verified through additional tri-axial testing. © 2001 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V.

The ‘Teaching in the Factory’ approach goes beyond a simple engineering ‘co-op’ experience, bringing together academic rigour and real-world experiences and generating a winning situation for all constituents. This approach provides teams of engineering students with the opportunity to work on projects in a real factory environment, gives students a solid technical education, and exposes them to significant engineering challenges in a factory/business setting. It also benefits companies by bringing fresh engineering minds to solve problems, obtaining faculty expertise in systematic problem solving and project management, and acquiring help to complete important projects. © 2001, © 2001 SAGE Publications.

A simulated osteotomy performed on a cadaver first metatarsal bone to delineate the heat generation and resulting temperature field was discussed. The experiment was accomplished by making in situ measurements of the time-varying temperature field in the bone during the cutting procedure. The temperature measurements were performed using K-type thermocouples with a sheath diameter, d = 0.8128mm, and accuracy of ± 0.2°C. It was observed that during a simulated osteonomy the temperature elevations regularly exceeded the threshold level in the bone at which thermal necrosis had occurred significantly.

The retropulsive momentum induced by a laser calculi lithotriptor was evaluated by high-speed photography. Calculus phantoms made from plaster of paris were placed in a clear glass tube that served as in vitro model of the ureter. Movement of the calculus was monitored by a high-speed camera which had provided pictures in every 300μsecond. It was found that the recoil momentum proportionally increased with increasing laser energy and larger fiber diameter resulted in higher momentum.

Transient characteristics of thermal contact conductance between isotropic rough surfaces of metals

Heat Transfer - Asian Research 2001年第4期30卷 341-356页

Transient measurements of thermal contact conductance are made on the interface between isotropic rough surfaces of metals in air. We present an analytical solution for temperature distribution of the one-dimensional symmetric system with the condition of time-dependent temperatures at two points in each body, and thereby interface temperature drops and heat fluxes can be obtained without the condition of heat-flux continuity at the interface. Contacting surfaces of rod samples (Naval brass, JIS-SK5 carbon tool steel, and JIS-SUS 304 stainless steel) of 25-mm diameter are uniformly polished using an emery 320 paper. Transient characteristics of both temperatures and heat fluxes at the interface are experimentally determined using the analytical solution. It is revealed through the transient experiment that the thermal contact conductances are not constant at the early stage, but rapidly increase from zero and that the discontinuity of interface heat-flux is observed by about 20 percent for all metal pairs. For the contact between dissimilar metals, the dependence of thermal contact conductance on the direction of heat flow is not distinguishable. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 30(4): 341-356, 2001.

A previous 2D ultrasound study (R.A. Malkin et al., 2001) suggested that there is relaxation of the myocardium after defibrillation. However, that 2D study could not measure activity occurring within the first 33 ms following the shock. Thus, the objective of our study is to determine the left ventricular (LV) geometry during this period. Biphasic defibrillation shocks were delivered to seven dogs. 1D short-axis ultrasound images of the LV cavity were acquired, the boundary of the anterior and posterior endocardial walls was extracted and the distance between them computed from 32 ms before to 32 ms after the shock. The normalized mean pre- and post-shock slopes were 0.2 /spl plusmn/ 2.2 and 3.3 /spl plusmn/ 7.9 %/10 ms, respectively. The post-shock LV diameter slope is positive in the first 32 ms following both successful and unsuccessful defibrillation shocks (p<0.05). Therefore, our results confirm that the bulk of the myocardium is relaxing immediately after a defibrillation shock.

Higher-density inoculation of fibroblasts into a three-dimensional scaffold should accelerate wound healing after skin implantation. This study attempted to develop tissue-engineered skin with a higher density of fibroblasts. We first attempted to fabricate three-dimensional high cell-density aggregates (spheroids) of normal human fibroblasts for application to tissue-engineered skin. Our method consisted of rotational shaking with nontreated dishes, decreasing fibroblast-material interactions, and augmenting cell-cell interaction. To prompt aggregate formation, the medium was supplemented with insulin, dexamethasone, ascorbic acid, and basic fibroblast growth factors that potentiate secretion of extracellular matrices. Under such improved conditions, fibroblasts were able to form spheroidal aggregates within 24 to 36h of rotational culture. Although the formed aggregates were irregular in shape and were composed of only several cells after 12h, they became almost spheroidal after 24h. The aggregates grew even more round after 36h, and their surfaces became smooth. After 36h of rotational culture, the fibroblast aggregates were collected and reinoculated onto a biodegradable mesh composed of polyglycolic acid coated with collagen. The aggregates were trapped in the material and became attached after 24h. Finally, because transforming growth factor-β₃ (TGF-β₃) is known to accelerate wound healing, we conducted a semiquantitative analysis of TGF-β₃ mRNA in both the fibroblast monolayers (two-dimensional culture) and the aggregates (three-dimensional culture). Analysis of TGF-β₃ mRNA expression showed that mRNA expression was greater in the fibroblasts of aggregates than in a monolayer. Therefore, our newly developed dermal graft is expected to accelerate wound healing faster than conventional grafts.

A common therapeutic approach for the rehabilitation of patients with hemiparesis involves repetitive voluntary movements with manual assistance from a therapist ("active-assist therapy"). We used a novel robotic device to deliver a controlled form of active-assist therapy in chronic stroke patients (N=7). To examine the utility of direct mechanical assistance in rehabilitation of voluntary arm movements, a matched group of subjects with chronic hemiparesis (N=7) performed the same repetitive exercises without the aid of the robotic device. Each group performed 24 therapy sessions over 8 weeks. We found that both groups demonstrated significant improvements in straightness of voluntary reaching movements, with limited improvements in range. Only the group that received robotic therapy significantly improved the smoothness of reaching. Improvements in both groups transferred to an unpracticed reaching movement and the timed performance of functional tasks. There were no significant differences in the magnitude of improvements between the two groups. These results suggest that it is the action of repetitively attempting to move, rather than the mechanical assistance provided by the robot, that stimulates arm movement recovery. However, imposing a smooth trajectory during practice of the reaching movements may help subjects learn how to produce smoother movements. In addition, practicing robot-assisted or unassisted reaching movements apparently improves control processes that generalize to other functional movements.

Computational and experimental study of performance of an artificial ligament: Dacron™ yarn

The success rate of reconstructing the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) with prosthetic ligaments is currently low both in humans and animals. The stress distribution in prosthetic ligaments that causes failure is very complex and not yet understood. Therefore, we have begun to develop a Finite Element Model of a prosthetic ACL. Here we describe the normal and contact stresses in Dacron™ yarn (a multi-fibrillar structure) using input data based on experimental measurements of the load and strain of six designed yarns. The results show that the normal and contact stresses in the fibres of the ACL yarn are directly proportional to the yam strains. Increasing the twisting length (transverse deformation) of the yarn increases the normal stress in the fibres and the yarn modulus, but decreases the contact stresses between the fibres. The structural properties of a yarn are dependent on the specific arrangement of various filament types. Increasing the distance between the longitudinal (symmetry) axes of the filaments and the axis of symmetry of the yarn decreases the stresses. © 2000 OPA (Overseas Publishers Association) N.V.

The mechanosensory mechanisms in bone include (i) the cell system that is stimulated by external mechanical loading applied to the bone;(ii) the system that transduces that mechanical loading to a communicable signal;and (iii) the systems that transmit that signal to the effector cells for the maintenance of bone homeostasis and for strain adaptation of the bone structure. The effector cells are the osteoblasts and the osteoclasts. These systems and the mechanisms that they employ have not yet been unambiguously identified. The candidate systems are reviewed here. The current theoretical and experimental evidence, which suggests that osteocytes are the principal mechanosensory cells of bone, is summarized. This evidence shows that they are activated by shear stress from fluid flowing through the osteocyte canaliculi. The evidence also suggests that the electrically coupled three-dimensional network of osteocytes and lining cells is a communications system for the control of bone homeostasis and structural strain adaptation. © 2000 American Society of mechanical Engineers (ASME).
