Concurrent musculoskeletal dynamics and finite element analysis predicts altered gait patterns to reduce foot tissue loading.
Current computational methods for simulating locomotion have primarily used muscle-driven multibody dynamics, in which neuromuscular control is optimized. Such simulations generally represent joints and soft tissue as simple kinematic or elastic elements for computational efficiency. These assumptions limit application in studies such as ligament injury or osteoarthritis, where local tissue loa...
متن کاملCombined finite element and musculoskeletal models for analyzing the pelvis dynamics throughout the gait cycle
Biomechanical analysis of human loco-motor system has been performed widely by applying rigid-body musculoskeletal models. This method enables to investigate the influence of muscle activation on body movements. Also, the finite element (FE) method enables the prediction of the internal forces and deformations. So, the musculoskeletal model and FE method are supplementary. At this point, integr...
متن کاملAppropriate Loading Techniques in Finite Element Analysis of Underground Structures
Stability of underground structures is assessed by comparing rock strength with induced stresses resulted from ground stresses. Rock mass surrounding the opening may fail either by fracture or excessive deformation caused. Accurate calculation of induced stresses is therefore fundamental in the stability analysis of an opening. Although numerical methods, particularly finite element method, are...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis for CFST Columns under Blast Loading
The columns of frame structures are the key load-bearing components and the exterior columns are susceptible to attack in terrorist blasts. When subjected to blast loads, the columns would suffer a loss of bearing capacity to a certain extent due to the damage imparted which may lead to their collapse and even cause the progressive collapse of the whole structure . The concrete-filled steel col...
متن کاملComparative Finite Element Analysis of Jaipur Foot and Polyurethane Foot
FEA is amongst best methods that help users to solve complex problems. There are fixed number of nodes in each element of the model that define the element boundaries to which boundary condition and loads can be applied. The geometry of the structure, the load applications, stress and displacement gradients can be approximated in a accurate manner, if the mesh is finer. The problem with the foo...
