A computational and experimental investigation of the biomechanics of nickel-titanium stents for femoropopliteal applications
(NUI Galway, 2023-06-15)Self-expanding nickel-titanium stents are the current gold-standard in treating peripheral artery disease in the femoropopliteal artery. Despite this, failure rates in the femoropopliteal artery are much higher than ... -
Effect of calcium triphosphate cement on proximal humeral fracture osteosynthesis: a finite element analysis
(SAGE Publications, 2013-08-01)Purpose. To measure the effect of void-filling calcium triphosphate cement on the loads at the implant-bone interface of a proximal humeral fracture osteosynthesis using a finite element analysis. Methods. Finite element ... -
Influence of connection systems on serviceability response of CLT timber flooring
(TU Verlag Wien, 2016-08-22)In this paper finite element analysis of a five layer cross-laminated timber (CLT) rectangular floor is presented. The model was developed using 3D shell elements with linear elastic orthotropic material properties. Support ... -
Mechanobiological origins of osteolysis during bone metastasis
(NUI Galway, 2023-03-28)Metastasis is the final, lethal stage of cancer where cells migrate from a primary tumour site to colonise a secondary organ and is the primary cause of mortality in cancer patients. Breast cancer is the leading cause ... -
Numerical simulation of stent angioplasty with predilation: an investigation into lesion constitutive representation and calcification influence
(Springer Nature, 2017-05-09)It is acceptable clinical practice to predilate a severely occluded vessel to allow better positioning of endovascular stents, and while the impact of this intervention has been examined for aggregate response in animals ...
