Advancing Science and Simulation
Our research group seeks to advance the science of computational models and simulations for innovation and as evidence for medical device regulatory requirements and [...]
Communicating Biologically-Inspired Science
Our research group is collecting empirical data to advance biologically-inspired design, biomimicry, biomimetics, biom* --- with a scientific attitude. Specifically, we are engaging in [...]
FEA Predicts Fatigue
One major success of the gStent-BE as a standard test stent is the consistent fracture location during axial fatigue loading. All reported fractures occurred [...]
Model Validation Data
I built a Finite Element Model of the gStent-BE and compared the force/displacement response with data from an experiment on my Bose 3220 Dynamic [...]
Computational Modeling of Cardiovascular Devices
I was given the opportunity to discuss the State-of-the-Art Computational Modeling for Cardiovascular Devices at the FDA/NHLBI/NSF Workshop at the FDA White Oaks campus [...]
Generic Balloon Expandable Stent
The ASTM F.04.30.06 undertook an inter-laboratory study for axial fatigue testing of a generic, stainless steel balloon expandable stent. We were interested in resolving [...]
