BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Wall shear stress (WSS) is the frictional force exerted by the circulating blood on the endothelium. Low systolic WSS is identified as an atherosclerotic risk factor. Recently,...
The mean and phase averaged pressure and wall shear stress distributions were measured on the stator wall of a 50 eccentric annular seal which was whirling in a circular orbit at the same speed as the...

Recent evidence suggests that the vascular endothelial cell (EC) can sense the flow-rate over its surface and according to the information, regulates not only its own morphology and functions but also...
OBJECTIVE: The mechanisms by which smoking and hypertension lead to increased incidence of intracranial aneurysm (IA) formation remain poorly understood. The current study investigates the effects of ...
OBJECTIVES. This study attempted to determine the influence of progressive degrees of stenosis on platelet deposition onto a severely damaged vessel wall. BACKGROUND. The severity of wall injury and i...
Initial measurements of the time-varying wall shear rate at two sites in a compliant cast of a human aortic bifurcation are presented. The shear rates were derived from flow velocities measured by las...
