Parallel Adaptive Method for Selecting Points of Interest in Structures: Cranial Deformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a cranial deformation simulation by applying a stress model using the Finite Element Method (FEM). We determine the geometry of cranium by processing 134 Computed Tomography (CT) images. We implement an image segmentation algorithm to build a three-dimensional cranium structure. We simulate stress and propose the boundary conditions according to the final position of forces applied by a stereotactic frame fixed on the human head. We used probabilistic and adaptive methods to select points in the structure with the purpose of reducing the computational cost and computational error due to discretization problem. We implement the algorithms using parallel programming (PosixThread and MPI).

Adaptive Line Enhancement Using a Parallel IIR Filter with A Step-By-step Algorithm
A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...

Parallel tubular channel angular pressing (PTCAP) process is a novel recently developed severe plastic deformation technique for fabrication of ultrafine grained (UFG) metallic tubes. This new process consists of two half cycles and is affected by several parameters such as channel angles, deformation ratio and curvature angles. In this paper, the effects of these parameters on the plastic defo...

In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...
