Towards Meshless Methods for Surgical Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the purpose of surgical simulation, we propose an algorithm based upon the Element Free Galerkin method, Total Lagrangian explicit dynamics and nonlinear material formulation. The proposed algorithm does not require a finite element mesh, so is well suited to simulations with irregular geometry. As an example, a simplified 3D simulation of craniotomy induced brain shift including brain, ventricles, tumor, subarachnoid space and skull is performed. The algorithm is validated by comparing simulation results with a well established commercial code.

متن کاملIntroduction to the numerical homogenization by means of the Meshless Finite Difference Method with the Higher Order Approximation
Paper focuses on application of the Meshless Finite Difference Method (MFDM) solution approach and its selected extensions to the numerical homogenization of the heterogeneous material. The most commonly used method of computer modeling for the multiscale problem (at both the macro and micro (RVE) levels) is the Finite Element Method (FEM). However, this fact does not mean that one should not s...

In the current work, we implement the meshless local radial point interpolation (MLRPI) method to find numerical solution of one-dimensional linear telegraph equations with variable coefficients. The MLRPI method, as a meshless technique, does not require any background integration cells and all integrations are carried out locally over small quadrature domains of regular shapes, such as lines ...

Computational efficiency and reliability are clearly the most important requirements for the success of a meshless numerical technique. While the basic ideas of meshless techniques are simple and well understood, an effective meshless method is very difficult to develop. The efficiency depends on the proper choice of the interpolation scheme, numerical integration procedures and techniques of i...
