Biomechanical relationships involving lingual myoanatomy, contractility, and bolus movement are fundamental properties of human swallowing. To portray the relationship between lingual deformation and bolus flow during swallowing, a weakly one-way sol

Computer simulation of liquid bolus flow is used to test the assumption that a slip boundary condition approximates a healthy swallow due to the presence of saliva lubricating the bolus. Six dynamic, 320-row area detector CT (ADCT) sequences of norma

A modeling strategy to predict the ability of surgical clips to achieve mechanical hemostasis when applied to the cut edge of a thick and muscular tissue is presented in this work. Although such a model may have broad utility in the design of hemosta

The goal of this study was to quantify the shear rate in a simplified model of the oral cavity during bolus ejection. Parallel plate squeezing flow was used to approximate the action of the tongue against the palate as a bolus is ejected from the mou

As individuals age, one of the objective changes that occurs in the oropharyngeal swallow is the development of a delay between bolus entry into the pharynx and the initiation of airway protection mechanisms. For longer delays, this phenomenon is som

Disease-related atrophy of the tongue muscles can lead to diminished lingual strength and swallowing difficulties. The devastating physical and social consequences resulting from this condition of oropharyngeal dysphagia have prompted investigators t

It has been hypothesized that repetitive flexural stresses contribute to the fatigue-induced failure of bioprosthetic heart valves. Although experimental apparatuses capable of measuring the bending properties of biomaterials have been described, a t

Background : Many diseases that affect the mitral valve are accompanied by the proliferation or degradation of tissue microstructure. The early acoustic detection of these changes may lead to the better management of mitral valve disease. In this stu

We present a novel method for the implementation of hyperelastic finite strain, non-linear strain-energy functions for biological membranes in an explicit finite element environment. The technique is implemented in LS-DYNA but may also be implemented
