According to the American Heart Association, valvular heart disease affects about 2.5% of adults in the United States, and ...

Scientists are developing custom 3D-printed replicas of human hearts - in an effort to improve life-saving technology fitted in thousands of patients each year. The models mimic blood flow and ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking process for multi-material 3D printing of lifelike models of the heart's aortic valve and the surrounding structures that mimic the exact look and feel of a ...

3D printing has opened up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to medical implants, allowing surgeons to equip patients with bespoke devices tailored to perfectly fit their unique anatomy, ...

Researchers have developed a method for cheaply producing heart valves in the span of minutes that are functional immediately after being implanted into sheep. The scientists call their method ...

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

University of Texas Permian Basin engineering students wrapped up the semester by presenting their senior design projects—a project all engineering students must complete to graduate. Mechanical ...
