Three-dimensional Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) is a non-contact optical-numerical technique for evaluating the dynamic mechanical behavior at surface of structures and materials, including biological tissues. 3D-DIC can be used to extract shape full-field displacements strains with high resolution, various length scales. While commercial academic software exist, field lacks packages which offer straightforward calibration data-merging solutions multi-view analysis, particularly...
Poster presented at SIAM CSE17 PP108 Minisymposterium: Software Productivity and Sustainability for CSE Data ScienceAbstract:This poster describes the motivation progress of Journal Open Source (JOSS), a free, open-access journal designed to publish brief papers about research software. The primary purpose JOSS is enable developers software receive citation credit equivalent typical archival publications. are deliberately extremely short, required include short abstract describing...
This article describes the motivation, design, and progress of Journal Open Source Software (JOSS). JOSS is a free open-access journal that publishes articles describing research software. It has dual goals improving quality software submitted providing mechanism for developers to receive credit. While designed work within current merit system science, addresses dearth rewards key contributions science made in form encapsulate scholarship contained itself, its rigorous peer review targets...
Effective prosthetic socket design following lower limb amputation depends upon the accurate characterization of shape residual as well its volume and fluctuations. Objective: This study proposes a novel framework for measurement analysis deformation, using high-resolution low-cost system. Methods: A multi-camera system was designed to capture sets simultaneous images entire residuum surface. The were analyzed specially developed open-source three-dimensional digital image correlation...
Low back pain is a major cause of disability and requires the development new devices to treat pathologies improve prognosis following surgery. Understanding effects on biomechanics spine crucial in effective functional devices. The aim this study was develop preliminary parametric, scalable anatomically accurate finite-element model lumbar allowing for evaluation performance spinal principal anatomical surfaces were first identified, then accurately fitted from previous supplied by S14...
Regional variance in human aortic bioarchitecture responsible for the elasticity of vessel is poorly understood. The current study quantifies elements compliance, namely, elastin, collagen and smooth muscle cells, using histological stereological techniques on tissue with a focus regional heterogeneity. Using donated cadaveric tissue, series samples were excised between proximal ascending aorta distal abdominal aorta, five cadavers, each which underwent various staining procedures to enhance...
Biomechanical interfaces are mechanical structures that form the connection between a device and tissue region, and, through appropriate load transfer, aim to minimize discomfort injury. A patient-specific data-driven computational framework for automated design of biomechanical is presented here. Optimization complex since it affected by interplay geometry properties both interface. The proposed application transtibial amputee prostheses where interface formed prosthetic liner socket....
Ultrasound is a cost-effective, readily available, and non-ionizing modality for musculoskeletal imaging. Though some research groups have pursued methods that involve submerging the transducer imaged body segment into water bath, many limitations remain in regards to acquiring an unloaded volumetric image of entire human limb fast, safe, adequately accurate manner. A 3D dataset useful several rehabilitative applications including biomechanical modeling soft tissue, prosthetic socket design,...
Abstract Medical devices, such as silicone‐based prostheses designed for soft tissue implantation, often induce a suboptimal foreign‐body response which results in hardened avascular fibrotic capsule around the device, leading to patient discomfort or implant failure. Here, it is proposed that additive manufacturing techniques can be used deposit durable coatings with multiscale porosity on surfaces promote optimal integration. Specifically, “liquid rope coil effect”, exploited via direct...
Pressure ulcers are a type of local soft tissue injury due to sustained mechanical loading and remain common issue in patient care. People with spinal cord (SCI) especially at risk pressure impaired mobility sensory perception. The development load improving support structures relies on realistic evaluation e.g. using finite element analysis (FEA). FEA requires subject-specific properties geometries. This study focuses the effect geometry. MRI is used for creation geometrically accurate...
