Modeling and analysis of miniaturized magnetorheological valve for fluidic actuation

Sofia Lydia Ntella

Fluidic actuation enables movement in a wide range of mechanical systems, from simple laboratory devices to more complex industrial machinery. Fluids are used to generate motion of mechanical pieces. The term "fluids" encompasses two types of technologies: ...

Latchable microfluidic valve arrays based on shape memory polymer actuators

Herbert Shea, Nadine Besse, Bekir Aksoy

We report arrays of latching microfluidic valves based on shape memory polymers (SMPs), and show their applications as reagent mixers and as peristaltic pumps. The valve design takes advantage of the SMP's multiple stable shapes and over a hundred-fold sti ...

Passive flow control valve for protein delivery

Philippe Renaud, Harald Van Lintel

Passive ow control valves are usually intended to deliver or drain a uid at a constant rate independently of pressure variations. Micro uidic devices made of a stack of two plates are considered here: the rst plate comprises a exible silicon membrane havin ...

Numerical modeling of heart valves using resistive Eulerian surfaces

Alfio Quarteroni, Aymen Laadhari

The goal of this work is the development and numerical implementation of a mathematical model describing the functioning of heart valves. To couple the pulsatile blood flow with a highly deformable thin structure (the valve's leaflets), a resistive Euleria ...
