Multibody dynamic simulation of knee contact mechanics.
Multibody dynamic musculoskeletal models capable of predicting muscle forces and joint contact pressures simultaneously would be valuable for studying clinical issues related to knee joint degeneration and restoration. Current three-dimensional multibody knee models are either quasi-static with deformable contact or dynamic with rigid contact. This study proposes a computationally efficient met...
متن کاملToward patient-specific articular contact mechanics.
The mechanics of contacting cartilage layers is fundamentally important to understanding the development, homeostasis and pathology of diarthrodial joints. Because of the highly nonlinear nature of both the materials and the contact problem itself, numerical methods such as the finite element method are typically incorporated to obtain solutions. Over the course of five decades, we have moved f...
متن کاملContact mechanics and tip shape in AFM-based nanomechanical measurements.
Stiffness-load curves obtained in quantitative atomic force acoustic microscopy (AFAM) measurements depend on both the elastic properties of the sample and the geometry of the atomic force microscope (AFM) tip. The geometry of silicon AFM tips changes when used in contact mode, affecting measurement accuracy. To study the influence of tip geometry, we subjected ten AFM tips to the same series o...

متن کاملA real-time topography of maximum contact pressure distribution at medial tibiofemoral knee implant during gait: Application to knee rehabilitation
Knee contact pressure is a crucial factor in the knee rehabilitation programs. Although contact pressure can be estimated using finite element analysis, this approach is generally time-consuming and does not satisfy the real-time requirements of a clinical set-up. Therefore, a real-time surrogate method to estimate the contact pressure would be advantageous. This study implemented a novel compu...
