Finite element reconstruction of real world aortic injury in near-side lateral automotive crashes with conceptual countermeasures
<p>Traumatic rupture of the aorta (TRA) remains the second most common cause of death associated with motor vehicle crashes after brain injury. On an average, nearly 8,000 people die annually in the United States due to blunt injury to the aorta. It is observed that more than 80% of occupants who …

Fluid-Structure Interaction of Large Viscoelastic Vessels Under Pulsatile Conditions
… understanding of how the dynamics of the aorta - particularly the fluid-structure interaction - relate to aneurysm progression is fundamental to streamlining clinical decisions. This thesis encompasses an experimental investigation into the response of compliant vessels to pulsatile flow …
