“…Other ways of determining geometrical dimensions include ultrasound and MRI technologies. The former is now routinely used for penile studies (Gefen et al 2006). Whatever automatic method of penile measurement is used, one can envision future DICC procedures being done with the geometrical data being measured automatically and fed continuously into a computer along with ICP (which is now already recorded automatically).…”

Two major branches of engineering mechanics are fluid mechanics and structural mechanics, with many practical problems involving the effect of the first on the second. An example is the design of an aircraft's wings to bend within reasonable limits without breaking under the action of lift forces exerted by the air flowing over them; another is the maintenance of the structural integrity of a dam designed to hold back a water reservoir which would exert very large forces on it. Similarly, fluid and structural mechanics are involved in the engineering analysis of erectile function: it is the hydraulic action of increased blood flow into the corpora cavernosa that creates the structural rigidity necessary to prevent collapse of the penile column.
