Estimation of spinal loads using a detailed finite element model of the L4-L5 lumbar segment derived by medical imaging kinematics; a feasibility study
Introduction: Low back pain is the most prevalent orthopedic disorder and the first main cause of poor working functionality in developed as wells as many developing countries. In Absence of noninvasive in vivo measurement approaches, biomechanical models are used to estimate mechanical loads on human joints during physical activities. To estimate joint loads via musculoskelet...
متن کاملNon Linear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced and Unreinforeced Pavements
In this research a comprehensive finite element program was developed in order to carry out an elasto perfectly plastic analysis of geogrid reinforcement of a model pavement. Qualitative agreement is seen between the numerical results and experiment. The results indicate the influence of geogrid in reduction of vertical deformation of pavements. It is also seen that for strong subgrade, the opt...
متن کاملNon-linear Registration using a Finite Element Method
An automated method to register Medical Images is presented in this work. This new technique employs an iterative warping scheme and is performed, either over fully pixel information or using geometrical features such as ridges. The warp at each iteration is given by a number of local Finite Element transformations which provide a non-linear global warp. Results show that this technique can be ...
متن کاملLoad Sharing in L4-L5 Spinal Motion Segment Using an Asymmetrical Finite Element Model
Lumbar spine degeneration diseases require precise prediction of biomechanical parameters. These parameters include stress in ligaments, intradiscal pressure and facet loads. For this purpose, several symmetrical FE models of lumbar spine have been proposed previously with inherent simplifications in design. Such models may not give realistic results for biomechanical analysis because of the as...
متن کاملAnalysis of Thin-Walled Steel Sections Filled with Concrete Using Non-Linear Finite Element Method
Being economical and performing well under cyclic loads, steel sections filled with concrete have been widely used in structural buildings. Extensive studies and experiments have been conducted to investigate the influence of different parameters and loadings on the behavior of these structural components. Based on the data available from previous experiments and studies, this paper discusses t...
