Non-linear mass-spring system for large soft tissue deformations modeling
Abstract
Implant placement under soft tissues operation is described. In this operation tissues can reach such deformations that nonlinear properties are appeared. A mass-spring model modification for modeling nonlinear tissue operation is developed. A method for creating elasticity module using splines is described. For Poisson ratio different stiffness for different types of springs in cubic grid is used. For stiffness finding an equation system that described material tension is solved. The model is verified with quadratic sample tension experiment. These tests show that sample tension under external forces is equal to defined nonlinear elasticity module. The accuracy of Poisson ratio modeling is thirty five percent that is better the results of available ratio modeling method.
