ASME Journal Publishes Annual Special Issue on Biomechanical EngineeringThe ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering (JBME) recently published its annual special issue, Biomechanical Engineering Year in Review. This years publication, which is the sixth annual special issue of JBME, is available online free-of-charge on The ASME Digital Collection until May 18.In addition to an editorial acknowledging the associate editors, reviewers and ASME staff members who make the publication of the journal possible, the special issue features contributions from winners of prestigious ASME honors, including Finite Element Framework for Computational abwandelbar Dynamics in FEBio by Gerald A. Ateshian, recipient of the 2017 H.R. Lissner Medal, and Lessons Learned From Kinematics Research Applied to Medical Device Design by Arthur G. Erdman, winner of the 2017 Savio L-Y. Woo Translational Biomechanics Medal.Other research papers contained in the issue include Poissons Contraction and Fiber Kinematics in Tissue Insight From Collagen Network Simulations, Dynamic Hydrostatic Pressure Regulates Nucleus Pulposus Phenotypic Expression and Metabolism in a Cell Density-Dependent Manner, A Short History of Bioengineering Research in Ireland, and Differences in Trabecular Microarchitecture and Simplified Boundary Conditions Limit the Accuracy of Quantitative Computed Tomography-Based Finite Element Models of Vertebral Failure.The special issue also features seven review articles addressing different issues biomechanical modeling in polymer physics and next-generation genomics hyperspectral imaging modalities for single-cell analysis the mechanics of kinesin and dynein motor proteins elastic fibers and large artery mechanics in animal models of development and disease primary blast brain injury mechanisms the molecular mechanisms of mechanosensitivity in cell adhesion molecules and the biomechanics and mechanobiology of saphenous vein grafts.In addition, Biomechanical Engineering Year in Review includes the technical brief A Re-Engineered Software Interface and Workflow for the Open-Source SimVascular Cardiovascular Modeling Package, and the paper Perspectives on Sharing Models and Related Resources in Computational Biomechanics Research, which incorporates the opinions of more than 20 experts from the biomechanics community related to the sharing of computational models and related resources.Visit The ASME Digital Collection now to read this special issue of ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.
