Cranial Biomechanical Simulation

Biomechanical Dynamics of Cranial Sutures during Simulated Impulsive Loading

Background. Cranial sutures are deformable joints between the bones of the skull, bridged by collagen fibres. They function to hold the bones of the skull together while allowing for mechanical stress transmission and deformation. Objective. The aim of this study is to investigate how cranial suture morphology, suture material property, and the arrangement of sutural collagen fibres influence t...

Biomechanical model-based 4DCT simulation

We present a biomechanical model based four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) simulation method for examining the patient lung deformation induced by respiratory motion, given only one CT scan as an input. First, we model the lung stress-strain behavior using a sophisticated hyperelastic model, and solve the lung deformation problem through finite element (FE) analysis. We introduce robust...

Artificial Life and Biomechanical Simulation of Humans

I review our recent work on human simulation, specifically:(1) an artificial life framework that addresses the problem of emulating the rich complexity of human appearance and activity in urban environments, resulting in autonomous pedestrian models, and (2) a comprehensive biomechanical model of the human body that confronts the combined challenge of modeling and controlling more or less all o...

Biomechanical Simulation of Human Eye Movement

Understanding the neural control and mechanics of human eye movement has significant implications for treating vision disorders. A computational model incorporating physiological properties and nonlinear kinematics of the oculomotor plant’s geometry and extraocular muscle (EOM) mechanics is desirable for scientific studies and clinical applications. We simulate realistic three-dimensional eye f...
