In this paper a new mechanism is proposed for the generation of phonocardiogram (PCG) sounds from implanted mechanical prosthetic heart valves. The structures in the chest, the heart, its partitions, and major vessels, constitute a frequency selective system excited by the rapidly decelerating valve occluder. It is shown that the source, the rapidly decelerating valve, has a wide and flat power spectrum and hence is an impulsive excitation that couples energy to the resonance modes specified by the structures in the chest. Consequently, the PCG signal is composed of decaying sinusoids. The parameters of the decaying sinusoids are estimated, and it is observed that the power spectra of the PCG signals have two dominant peaks in the frequency band of 200-500 Hz. The energy coupled to these two modes depends on the state of the valve. With thrombus the decelerating occluder slows down and becomes a broader pulse concentrating the energy to the lower resonance mode. This is verified by experiments on 30 patients during postoperative time course. However, no significant change in the resonance frequencies are observed which is an evidence for their anatomical and not valvular dependence.

Predicting time-dependent remodeling of bone around immediately loaded dental implants with different designs Eser, Atilim; Tönük, Ergin; Akça, Kıvanç; Cehreli, Murat Cavit (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) The purpose of this study was to predict time-dependent biomechanics of bone around cylindrical screw dental implants with different macrogeometric designs under simulated immediate loading condition. The remodeling of bone around a parallel-sided and a tapered dental implant of same length was studied under 100 N oblique load by implementing the Stanford theory into three-dimensional finite element models. The results of the analyses were examined in five time intervals consisting loading immediately after...
Numerical simulation of the effect of time-to-loading on peri-implant bone AKÇA, KIVANÇ; Eer, Atilim; Canay, Senay (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) Purpose: To evaluate the effect of time-to-loading on trabecular bone around single-tooth dental implants using numerical solutions based on computer models.
An investigation of microstructure, microhardness and biocompatibility characteristics of yttrium hydroxyapatite doped with fluoride Toker, Sıdıka Mine; Evis, Zafer; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2010) The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructure, microhardness and biocompatibility properties of nano hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with a constant yttrium (Y3+) and varying fluoride (F-) compositions. HA was synthesized via precipitation method and sintered at 1100C for 1 hour. Increased densities were achieved upon Y3+ doping while F- doping led to a decrease in densities. For structural analysis, XRD, SEM and FTIR spectroscopy examinations were performed. No secondary phases were observed in XR...
Fabrication and cellular interactions of nanoporous tantalum oxide Uslu, Ece; Garipcan, Bora; Ercan, Batur (Wiley, 2020-10-01) Tantalum possesses remarkable chemical and mechanical properties, and thus it is considered to be one of the next generation implant materials. However, the biological properties of tantalum remain to be improved for its use in tissue engineering applications. To enhance its cellular interactions, implants made of tantalum could be modified to obtain nanofeatured surfaces via the electrochemical anodization process. In this study, anodization parameters were adjusted to obtain a nanoporous surface morpholog...
Nonlinear elastic material property estimation of lower extremity residual limb tissues Tönük, Ergin (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2003-03-01) The interface stresses between the residual limb and prosthetic socket have been studied to investigate prosthetic fit. Finite-element models of the residual limb-prosthetic socket interface facilitate investigation of the mechanical interface and may serve as a potential tool for future prosthetic socket design. However, the success of such residual limb models to date has been limited, in large part due to inadequate material formulations used to approximate the mechanical behavior of residual limb soft t...
