FEA of In-Vitro Test Methods for Radial Force Characterization
An overview of the typical in-vitro test methods used to characterize the performance of Nitinol stents is presented. Characterization requires a consistent definition and [...]
FEA and Nitinol: Beyond the Fundamentals
At the 2006 SMST Conference in Asilomar Dr. Paul and I had he privilege of sharing our experience of working with Nitinol and particularly [...]
Emerging Transcatheter Technologies
You can download a presentation of emerging transcatheter devices and technologies that I put together from the engineering design perspective that includes AAA solutions, [...]
Thermoelastic Transformation Behavior of Nitinol
The transformation behavior of Nitinol under uniaxial tension and four-point bending was investigated. A novel sample geometry produced from drawn tubing was used to [...]
Introducing Wu Wei aka Irene
I began building my wooden boat in 1995, just after I moved to Beaverton, OR. I wanted a boat I could take out for [...]
