This practical, single-source volume provides comprehensive information on the tribological aspects of advanced ceramic materials for all uses that require controlled friction and wear resistance.

Continuous flow, mechanical cardiac assist devices rely on a rotating impeller to aid the heart with blood flow. Like any other mechanical system, the rotating components of these devices require some form of load support that is provided by either mechanical or magnetic bearings. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of basic principles that are important for design and evaluation of mechanical bearings used in blood pumps with a primary focus on mechanical bearings used in the second and third generation ventricular assist devices (VADs). A general introduction of some basic...

This proceedings publication includes papers and abstracts from a

dedicated track focused on Multidisciplinary Engineering, at the

November 2015 International Mechanical Engineering Conference

and Exposition (IMECE 2015).

Innovative solutions to large-scale, complex engineering problems

are no longer confined to a particular discipline of science or

engineering. Optimal solutions often require a multidisciplinary

approach that draws on various concepts and knowledge base in

an iterative process. The objective of these papers and...
