Stress Analysis of the Human Ligamentous Lumber Spine-From Computer-Assisted Tomography to Finite Element Analysis

Detailed investigation on biomechanics of a complex structure such as the human lumbar spine requires the use of advanced computer-based technique for both the geometrical reconstruction and the stress analysis. In the present study, the computer-assisted tomography (CAT) and finite element method (FEM) are merged to perform detailed three dimensional nonlinear analysis of the human ligamentous...

Finite Element Analysis and Experimental Investigation on the Conventional and Vibration Assisted Drilling

In this research, finite element analysis of the conventional drilling and vibration assisted drilling is carried out. The ABAQUS software is employed for FE analysis. The Johnson-Cook models for both plastic deformation and damage are employed for FE simulation.The results of the FE analysis are then verified with experimental results in both conventional and vibration assisted drilling on Al ...

Introduction to Finite Element Methods

In a di erential equations course, one typically studies a few classes of problems for which there are closed form solutions, such as ordinary, linear di erential equations with constant coe cients. Most problems of interest in real world simulation problems are much more complex, however, involving domains of two or more dimensions or nonlinear e ects, yielding partial di erential equations or...

Introduction to Finite Element Methods

Finite element methods are based on the variational formulation of partial differential equations which only need to compute the gradient of a function. Although unknowns are still associated to nodes, the function composed by piece-wise polynomials on each element and thus the gradient can be computed element-wise. Finite element spaces can thus be constructed on general triangulations and thi...
