| | Research includes modeling of static and pulsatile blood flow in the lungs based on experimental results of pulmonary blood vessels' morphometry, elasticity, and blood viscosity under different boundary conditions. We evaluate blood flow in the lungs by experiments and perform research related to lung mechanics. We investigate trauma of the lung due to impact load along with mechanical properties of the human heart, lung, and aorta for highway safety research. Other research interests include orthopedic biomechanics, model studies on calcaneous fracture, and remodeling of long bone under pure bending. Research projects include pulmonary circulation of human lungs, determination of mechanical properties of skins, lungs, and aorta and the investigation of wave properties in the lung. The team also investigates pulmonary stress distribution under blast loading and damage mechanics in the lung. |
