Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a class of smart materials with rubber-like qualities, demonstrating revertible magnetic field-dependent viscoelastic properties, which makes them an ideal candidate for development of the next generation of adaptive vibration absorbers. This research study aims at the development of a finite element model using mi ...

Elastography is a medical imaging modality that enables visualization of tissue stiffness. It involves quasi-static or harmonic mechanical stimulation of the tissue to generate a displacement field which is used as input in an inversion algorithm to reconstruct tissue elastic modulus. This paper considers quasi-static stimulation and presents a novel inve ...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation has shown superior clinical outcomes compared to open aortic valve replacement surgery. The loss of the natural sense of touch, inherited from its minimally invasive nature, could lead to misplacement of the valve in the aortic annulus. In this study, a cylindrical optical fiber sensor is proposed to be integrated w ...
