Finite Element Modeling of the Human Head

I want to thank my dear colleague Peter Halldin at the Department of Aeronautics, KTH, for being such a nice and helpful roommate , as well as, together with my two other colleagues at the Neuronics; Karin Brolin and Magnus Aare, for open minded and stimulating discussions. I am grateful to Professor Jan Bäcklund, head of the Department, for his enthusiasm. I want to thank the Engineering Resea...

Towards finite element modeling of the accoustics of human head

In this paper, a new formulation for acoustics coupled with linear elasticity is presented. The primary objective of the work is to develop a three dimensional hp adaptive finite element method code destinated for modeling of acoustics of human head. The code will have numerous applications e.g. in designing hearing protection devices for individuals working in high noise environments. The pres...

Modeling of the Fatigue Life of Fiber Metal Laminates under Low Velocity Impact by Finite Element Method

In this study, first by using the finite element method, fatigue life of fiber metal laminates of Glare type subjected to impact was obtained and the numerical results of the model were compared with the experimental results. With regard to the very good matching between numerical and experimental results, then the results of the finite element model were generalized and expanded, and with usin...

Experimental Study of Masonry Structure Under Impact Loading and Comparing it with Numerical Modeling Results via Finite Element Model Updating

Given the sophisticated nature of the blast phenomenon in relation to structures, it is of significance to accurately investigate the structure behavior under blast loads. Due to its rapid and transient nature, blast loading is one of the most important dynamic loadings on the structures. Since masonry materials are widely used as the partition and bearing walls in the existing and newly-built ...

Finite element modeling of optic nerve head biomechanics.

PURPOSE Biomechanical factors have been implicated in the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, particularly at the level of the lamina cribrosa. The goal of this study was to characterize the biomechanics of the optic nerve head using computer modeling techniques. METHODS Several models of the optic nerve head tissues (pre- and postlaminar neural tissue, lamina cribrosa, central reti...
