... potential OA development and progression. Mechanical damage from repeated contact is believed to contribute to internal physical and biochemical changes in articular cartilage that lead to OA initiation and progression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based finite element analysis (FEA) is a recent...

.... The mechanical properties of the VSD occluders with different braiding angles (30 deg, 45 deg, 60 deg), materials (nitinol (NiTi), polydioxanone (PDO)), and waist-heights (3 mm, 4 mm) were studied by finite element analysis and validated by bench tests. Under 1 mm radial shrinkage, the bending angles...

... of large perforations with a redesigned clip, the less traumatic grasper, and a highly efficient driving system was presented, and its efficacy was evaluated. The behaviors of the new clip and grasper were verified through finite element analysis (FEA). The capability of pushing transmission for the EMFCA...

... diameter and cross angle of the wires, can affect the stiffness of the fixator. In this study, the focus was on the effects of the properties of the ring, such as ring diameter, ring deformation, and ring material, on the stiffness of the two-ring Ilizarov fixator. The finite element analysis (FEA...
