Stents for angioplasty have been extensively used to treat coronary diseases. The aim of this study is to analyze the expansion of the stent and the contact with the artery using tube hydroforming simulation. In the simulation, the contact stress and the final shape of the artery after stent expansion process using the Stampack (®;) software will be studied. A model of a commercial stent made o...

This research article highlights Omega type Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor (CMFS) used for measuring direct mass flow. CMFS works on the principle of Coriolis effect. In this research article omegatype, CMFS has been investigated for evaluatingresonant frequency. Modelling of CMFS can be split into two domainsstructural and fluid. The omega shaped tube, forming the structural part and the fluid flow...

In real crash cases, simple bending behavior is not common. this case, using the three-point test to examine provides a closer simulation in terms of representation structure under loading. It seen literature that products with tube sections are generally used as door im-pact beams. On other hand, when examining developed high strength steels, it studies on profiles only evaluated hydroforming....

a 25-year-old man was admitted in hospital due to right side hemopneumothorax secondary to car accident. a chest tube was inserted. during the hospitalization days, chest ct scan revealed a 3cmx3 cm oval-shaped density located in the right upper lobe. since he was in a good general condition, he was discharged from hospital after removal of chest tube and a follow-up chest ct-scan was recommend...

An experimental investigation was carried out to study mixed convection heat transfer from Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a vertical, W-shaped, copper-tube with uniform wall temperature. The tests covered different ranges of some involved parameters including Reynolds number, temperature and particles volume fraction. The results showed that the rate of heat transfer coefficient improved with Rey...

INTRODUCTION The Shiley™ Flexible adult tracheostomy tube with TaperGuard™ cuff has been designed through its geometry, materials, diameter, and wall thickness to minimize micro-aspiration of fluids past the cuff and to provide an effective air seal in the trachea while also minimizing the risk of excessive contact pressure on the tracheal mucosa. The cuff also has a deflated profile that may a...
