A comparison of two quasi-static computational models for assessment of intra-myocardial injection as a therapeutic strategy for heart failure
Fan, Yiling; Ronan, William; Teh, Irvin; Schneider, Jurgen E.; Varela, Claudia E.; Whyte, William; McHugh, Peter; Leen, Sean B.; Roche, Ellen (Wiley, 2019-05-06)Myocardial infarction, or heart attack, is the leading cause of mortality globally. Although the treatment of myocardial infarct has improved significantly, scar tissue that persists can often lead to increased stress and ... -
Computational study on the effect of contact geometry on fretting behaviour
McHugh, Peter; Zhang, Teng; Lean, Sean (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-07-23)A key challenge in the design of engineering couplings and contacting components relates to the development of an understanding of the comparative performance of contrasting contact geometries for a given application, ... -
Micromechanical modelling of fatigue crack nucleation in stents
Sweeney, Caoimhe; McHugh, Peter; Leen, Sean B. (Bioengineering In Ireland Conference 2012, 2012)A finite element based micro-mechanical methodology for cyclic plasticity and fatigue crack initiation in cardiovascular stents is presented. The methodology is based on the combined use of a (global) three-dimensional ...
