An overview of bio-mechanical models for bones and related topics

Submitted by Evgeny Savenkov on

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a good comprehencive overview about bio-mechanics and numerical simulation in

bio-mechanics. I'm mainly interested in the following topics:

-- mathematical models for bone simulation

-- contact problems and corresponding models (e.g., bone-prosthesis models, etc.)

-- corresponding numerics/simulations

and corresponding state-of-the-art.

Thanks in advance! 

 

North American Workshop on Applications of the Physics of Porous Media

Submitted by MichelleLOyen on

The 7th North American Workshop on Applications of the Physics of Porous Media will be held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, November 2-6, 2007. This will be the 7th biennial meeting of researchers around the world who are interested in the phenomena associated with physics of fluid flow and deformation in porous media and its applications to a broad range of basic roblems encountered in geophysics, geomechanics, medical physics, and condensed matter physics.

BRAIN TEMPERATURE AND INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE – A QUANTITATIVE BIOLOGICAL-THERMAL-MECHANICAL PERSPECTIVE

Submitted by Fang Wang on

The present paper studies the effect of intracranial temperature (ICT) change on intracranial pressure (ICP). Thermal and mechanical effects were analyzed using a 3D finite element model of the human head.

Effects of Head Size and Morphology on Dynamic Responses to Impact Loading

Submitted by Fang Wang on

Head responses subjected to impact loading are studied using the finite element method. The dynamic responses of the stress, strain, strain energy density and the intracranial pressure govern the intracranial tissues and skull material failures, and therefore, the traumatic injuries.
