Hybrid Deformation Model of Myocardium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer models of the heart lead to a better understanding of the physiological and physical processes underlying each heart beat. Various models exist for simulating electrophysiology, excitation propagation, force development and deformation. Simulations can be used to support medical doctors in diagnostics, surgery planing and serve educational purposes. This work focuses on simulating mechanical aspects of a heart. Simulations with electrophysiological, excitation propagation and force development models were carried out. Force development was utilized as input to the mechanical model. A hybrid myocardial deformation model is introduced merging a spring mass system and a continuum mechanical model. Simulations with simple geometries and fiber orientation were conducted to display the models capabilities. Detailed analysis of the deformations of a patch yielded the expected behavior.

In this research, severe plastic deformation of Sn-5Sb solder alloy was carried out under different t deformation conditions, including the temperature range of 298, 330, 36, 400 K and die designs. The current study applies an experimentally validated finite ...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF THE HYBRID HARMONY SEARCH WITH SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE FOR IDENTIFICATION AND CALSSIFICATION OF DAMAGED ZONE AROUND UNDERGROUND SPACES
An excavation damage zone (EDZ) can be defined as a rock zone where the rock properties and conditions have been changed due to the processes related to an excavation. This zone affects the behavior of rock mass surrounding the construction that reduces the stability and safety factor and increase probability of failure of the structure. This paper presents an approach to build a model for the ...
متن کاملModeling of cardiac muscle thin films: pre-stretch, passive and active behavior.
Recent progress in tissue engineering has made it possible to build contractile bio-hybrid materials that undergo conformational changes by growing a layer of cardiac muscle on elastic polymeric membranes. Further development of such muscular thin films for building actuators and powering devices requires exploring several design parameters, which include the alignment of the cardiac myocytes a...
متن کاملMathematical Aspects of the Mechanics of Left Ventricular Contraction
Large elastic deformation is used in order to model the mechanics of left ventricular contraction. The active force generated by the myocardium is modeled as force/unit myocardial volume in the mathematical formalism describing the local equilibrium of forces in the myocardium. Expressions for the stress components are derived by assuming a cylindrical geometry for the left ventricle, the total...
متن کاملSimultaneous Estimation of Dynamic Cardiac MR Images and Deformation Maps
Purpose: Many spatiotemporal models based on image intensity have been used to accelerate cardiac image acquisition [1,2]. Their performance is limited by the fact that the local pixel intensity can abruptly change due to cardiac motion, and particularly the motion of tissue boundaries. In this work, we consider spatiotemporal models based on 2D deformation and propose an approach for simultane...
