Biomechanical factors play fundamental roles in the natural history of abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAAs) and their responses to treatment. Advances during the past two decades …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture remains a significant cause of death in the
developed world. Current treatment approaches rely heavily on the size of the aneurysm to …

In the field of computational biomechanics, investigators have primarily used commercial
software that is neither geared toward biological applications nor sufficiently flexible to follow …

OBJECTIVE: Investigation of the predictability of finite element (FE) models regarding
rupture risk assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). MATERIALS AND …

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a balloon-like dilation of the aorta, which is
potentially fatal in case of rupture. Computational finite element (FE) analysis is a promising …

A new, computationally efficient method is presented for processing transient thin-film heat
transfer gauge signals. These gauges are widely used in gas turbine heat transfer research …

The abdominal aorta (AA) in older individuals can develop an aneurysm, which is of
increasing concern in our ageing population. The structural integrity of the ageing aortic …

BACKGROUND: Increased biomechanical stresses within the abdominal aortic aneurysm
(AAA) wall contribute to its rupture. Calcification and intraluminal thrombus can be …

OBJECTIVES: In the decision for surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), the
maximum diameter is the main factor. Several studies have concluded that the diameter may …

Objectives Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a major cause of death in developed
countries. The AAA diameter is still the only validated prognostic measure for rupture, and …
