A FINITE ELEMENT MODEL OF SKIN DEFORMATION. III. THE FINITE ELEMENT MODEL

Finite Element Model of Cornea Deformation

Cornea surgeons have observed that changes in cornea curvature can follow cataract surgery and cause astigmatism. The placement of surgical incisions has been shown to influence these curvature changes. Though empirical data has been collected about this phenomenon, a biomechanical model has not been employed in predicting post-surgical outcomes. This work implemented an incised finite element ...

Finite Element Model Construction

Abstract This chapter explains the methodology to simulate total hip arthroplasty. Three-dimensional (3D) model of a femur was created from the Visible Human Project computed tomography dataset. Four different models of cementless hip stem were constructed from various file formats. Triangular surface mesh was manually repaired to ensure good finite element model for analyses. The implant surfa...

A Finite Element Model for Wound Healing

Wound healing proceeds by a number of (partially) overlapping steps: bleeding, blood clotting, removal of contaminants and bacteria, wound closure by cell mitosis and migration towards the wound center, repair of the vascular network, and wound contraction along lines of equal tension. We consider a model due to Adam [1] for the closure of a wound. The model is based on an epidermal growth fact...
