Finite element human body model (HBM) positioning remains a challenge and automatic methods are essential to enable their effective use in a wide range of applications such as injury analysis in ...

In advanced engineering circles, the finite element method — or, more commonly, finite element analysis — is a real staple. With the advent of more powerful home computers, though, even your home ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

A standard dental arch model with normal shape was selected, and the same target positions were set. Three different movement sequences were simulated: V-pattern (21stages), ZC (abbreviation of ...

This course will cover the fundamentals of non-standard finite element formulations such as Moving Least Squares (MLS), Element Free Galerkin (EFG), Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM), Material ...
