This work presents new Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) models in both 2D and 3D of the effect of using vascular stents as treatment of cerebral berry aneurysms. The stent is positioned inside the cerebral artery covering the neck of the aneurysm. The stent is expected to alter the ... En savoir plus

In this work, we present a mathematical model formulated to simulate the mechanical behavior of articular cartilage. Biological tissues of this kind can be modeled as fiber-reinforced porous media, filled with an interstitial fluid and exhibiting a process of remodeling [2]. With this ... En savoir plus

Damping is the liminting factor for the reachable maximum deflection. Thus, it is a very important issue for resonant microsystems. In this paper, we present a damping model for out-of-plane comb driven resonant micromirrors. The basic concept of this model is to attribute viscous ... En savoir plus

With increasing awareness of coronary diseases, much research has been put into the effectiveness and benefits a coronary stent can bring to a patient with a diseased coronary artery. However, current research does not fully address the effects of restenosis on the vessel, given that it ... En savoir plus

Performance of tactile sensation is affected by fingertip deformation characteristics produced when touching objects. Tactile performance of human fingertips is strictly associated with activity of the nerve endings and sensitivity of the soft tissue within the fingertip to the static ... En savoir plus

Additive manufacturing gathers technologies where near net shape components are produced by depositing successive layers of materials. Among these technologies, the Layer Beam Melting (LBM) process – often referred to as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) – is garnering industrial interest, ... En savoir plus

In this presentation we are dealing with the computational fluid model of a Filament Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (FACVD) reactor. Proposed strategy in this study involved several steps: (a) development a computational model for FACVD process capable to describe and obtain with ... En savoir plus

To support high frequency transmission, the mammalian middle ear construction is unique. The middle ear bones are connected through two mobile joints, the malleus-incus joint (MIJ) and the incudostapedial joint (ISJ). These synovial joints, consisting of joint capsule and synovial fluid ... En savoir plus

The Laser Metal Deposition process (LMD) is a rapid free form fabrication method which can be used to manufacture new near net shape metallic components, to repair used ones or to add functional parts on existing ones. This process is composed by multiple gas streams flowing inside a ... En savoir plus
