چکیده

Physically-based animation techniques enable more realistic and accurate animation to be created. We present a GPU-based finite element (FE) simulation and interactive visualisation system for efficiently producing realisticlooking animations of facial movement, including expressive wrinkles. It is optimised for simulating multi-layered voxel-based models using the total Lagrangian explicit dynamic (TLED) FE method. The flexibility of our system enables detailed animations of gross and fine-scale soft-tissue movement to be easily produced with different muscle structures and material parameters. While we focus on the forehead, the system can be used to animate any multi-material soft body.

Modeling of Tactile Detection of an Artery in a Soft Tissue by Finite Element Analysis

Nowadays, one of the main problems encountered in minimally invasive surgery and telesurgery is the detection of arteries in tissue. In this study, for the first time, tactile detection of an artery in tissue and distinguishing it from the tumor has been modeled by finite element method. In this modeling, three 2D models of tissue have been created: tissue, tissue including a tumor, and tissue ...

Investigating Effective Parameters in Tactile Determination of Artery included in Soft Tissue by FEM

One of the newest ways of surgery is known as Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), which in spite of its benefits, because of surgeon's tactile sensing omission, causes some problems with detection of arteries and their exact positions in tissue during a surgery. In this study, tactile detection of an artery in tissue has been modeled by finite element method. In this modeling, three 2D models of ...
