The numerical solution of 3D linear elasticity equations is considered. The problem is described by a coupled system of second-order elliptic partial differential equations. This system is discretized by trilinear brick finite elements. The PCG iterative method is used for solving the large-scale linear algebraic systems arising after the FEM discretization of the problem. Displacement decompos...

We consider the numerical solution of 3D linear elasticity equations. The investigated problem is described by a coupled system of second order elliptic partial differential equations. This system is then discretized by conforming or nonconforming finite elements. After applying the Finite Element Method (FEM) based discretization, a system of linear algebraic equations has to be solved. In thi...

Standard calibration targets are typically used for calibrating the imaging pathway of fingerprint readers. However, there is no standard method for evaluating fingerprint readers in the operational setting where variations in finger placement by the user are encountered. The goal of this research is to design 3D targets for repeatable operational evaluation of fingerprint readers. 2D calibrati...

We present a new inverse and physically-consistent traction force microscopy method developed implemented in the context of 3D nonlinear elasticity. prove its enhanced accuracy applying it to real cases cells cultured hydrogel.
