A Three Dimensional Finite Element Method for Biological Active Soft Tissue Formulation in Cylindrical Polar Coordinates
Abstract. A hyperelastic constitutive law, for use in anatomically accurate finite element models of living structures, is suggested for the passive and the active mechanical properties of incompressible biological tissues. This law considers the passive and active states as a same hyperelastic continuum medium, and uses an activation function in order to describe the whole contraction phase. T...
متن کاملFree vibration analysisof soft-core composite-faced sandwich plates using three-dimensional finite element method
In this paper, natural frequencies of the sandwich plates with soft flexible core and composite face sheets are obtained. Three-Dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM) is used for constructing and analyzing of the sandwich plates to obtain their natural frequencies. Continuity conditions for transverse shear stresses at the interfaces as well as transverse flexibility and transverse normal...
متن کاملFormulation of a Galerkin spectral element–Fourier method for three-dimensional incompressible flows in cylindrical geometries
A primitive-variable formulation for simulation of time-dependent incompressible flows in cylindrical coordinates is developed. Spectral elements are used to discretise the meridional semi-plane, coupled with Fourier expansions in azimuth. Unlike previous formulations where special distributions of nodal points have been used in the radial direction, the current work adopts standard Gauss–Lobat...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Simulation of Scalp Soft Tissue Expansion Using Finite Element Method
Scalp soft tissue expansion is one of the key medical techniques to generate new skin tissue for correcting various abnormalities and defects of skin in plastic surgery. Therefore, it is very important to work out the appropriate approach to evaluate the increase of expanded scalp area and to predict the shape, size, number, and placement of the expander. A novel method using finite element mod...
متن کاملEquivalence Conditions for Finite Volume / Element Discretizations in Cylindrical Coordinates
Abstract. A novel numerical technique for the solution of the compressible flow equations over unstructured grids in a cylindrical reference is presented. The proposed approach is based on a mixed finite volume / finite element method. Equivalence conditions relating the finite volume and the finite element metrics in cylindrical coordinates are derived. Numerical simulations of the explosion a...
