Although sedentary behavior (characterized by prolonged sitting without otherwise being active in daily life) is widely regarded as a risk factor for peripheral artery disease (PAD), underlying biomechanical mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. In this study, geometrical models of ten external iliac arteries were reconstructed based on angi...
The surface morphology of the developing mammalian brain is crucial for understanding brain function and dysfunction. Computational modeling offers valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms for early brain folding. Recent...

The accurate quantification of bruising remains a challenging task, primarily du...
As a treatment for the widely spread cardiovascular diseases (CVD), bypass vascular grafts have room for improvement in terms of mechanical property match with native arteries. A 3D‐printed nozzle is presented, featuring unique internal structures, to extrude artificial vascular grafts with a flower‐mimicking geometry. The multilayer‐structured gra...
The surface morphology of the developing mammalian brain is crucial for understanding brain function and dysfunction. Computational modeling offers valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms for early brain folding. While previous studies generally assume uniform growth, recent findings indicate significant regional variations in brain tissue...

Purpose
To develop a novel method for calculating small airway resistance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on CT data and evaluate its value to identify COPD.
Patients and Methods
24 subjects who underwent chest CT scans and pulmonary function tests between August 2020 and December 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. Subjects were di...
We introduce a data-driven framework to automatically identify interpretable and physically meaningful hyperelastic constitutive models from sparse data. Leveraging symbolic regression, an algorithm based on genetic programming, our approach generates elegant hyperelastic models that achieve accurate data fitting through parsimonious mathematic for...
This study is a pioneering endeavor to investigate the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) in addressing conceptual questions within the domain of mechanical engineering with a focus on mechanics. Our examination involves a manually crafted exam encompassing 126 multiple-choice questions, spanning various aspects of mechanics courses, incl...
A systematic investigation of the dynamic clustering behavior of active particles under confinement, including the effects of both particle density and active driving force, is presented based on a hybrid coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation. First, a series of scaling laws are derived with power relationships for the dynamic clustering tim...
Pelvic floor disorders (PFD) are common among women, causing dysfunction, incontinence, and discomfort. Surgeries to repair the descended tissues can result in complications due to implant material design, particularly from...

The intricate architecture of the human brain exhibits complex mechanical properties and endows it to perform pivotal functions. Traditional computational methods, such as the finite element analysis, have provided valuable insights into uncovering the underlying mechanisms of brain physical behaviors. However, precise predictions of brain physics...
The human brain development experiences a complex evolving cortical folding from a smooth surface to a convoluted ensemble of folds. Computational modeling of brain development has played an essential role in better understanding the process of cortical folding, but still leaves many questions to be answered. A major challenge faced by computationa...
The aim of this paper is to establish a multiscale crack growth model that considers the segmented stages of microstructurally short crack (MSC), physically short crack (PSC) as well as long crack (LC). The proposed multiscale model is based on the crack driving force defined by Chapetti, which briefly accounts for the crack propagation behaviors a...
