Quantitative ultrasound can be used to characterize the evolution of the bone-implant interface (BII), which is a complex system due to the implant surface roughness and to partial contact between bone and the implant. The aim of this study…
The density-based bi-objective topology optimization (TO) has been widely adopted in liquid cooling plate design, where the design domain is treated as porous media with porosity as the design variable. However, conventional TO method…
Purpose: One of the major reasons that totally implantable cochlear microphones are not readily available is the lack of good implantable microphones. An implantable microphone has the potential to provide a range of benefits over external…
In this study, self-optimization of a grinding machine is demonstrated with respect to production costs, while fulfilling quality and safety constraints. The quality requirements of the final workpiece are defined with respect to grinding…
Electrosurgery is a surgical technique that can improve tissue cutting by reducing cutting force and bleeding. However, electrosurgery adds a risk of thermal injury to surrounding tissue. Expert surgeons estimate desirable cutting…
Burn injuries can result from mechanisms such as thermal, chemical, and electrical insults. A prompt and accurate assessment of burns is essential for deciding definitive clinical treatments. Currently, the primary approach for burn…
The estimation of wall thermal properties by \emph{in situ} measurement enables to increase the reliability of the model predictions for building energy efficiency. Nevertheless, retrieving the unknown parameters has an important…
Natural hard composites like human bone possess a combination of strength and toughness that exceeds that of their constituents and of many engineered composites. This augmentation is attributed to their complex hierarchical structure,…

This paper provides a normalized field product approach for topology optimization to achieve close-to-binary optimal designs. The method employs a parameter-free density measure that implicitly enforces a minimum length scale on the solid…
This paper presents bone adaptation as a geometric flow. The proposed method is based on two assumptions: first, that the bone surface is smooth (not fractal) permitting the definition of a tangent plane and, second, that the interface…
In medicolegal situations, the consequences of a stabbing incident are described in terms that are qualitative without being quantitative. Here, the mechanical variables involved in knife-tissue penetration events are used to determine the…
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue has been investigated extensively by various research groups over the past fifty years. These properties are particularly important for modelling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In this research, we…
Thermoplastics injection molding allows the production of complex parts in large series. Industrial quality requirements are increasing. The injection molding process needs to be regulate in order to maintain a working point. There is…
Spine injections are commonly performed in several clinical procedures. The localization of the target vertebral level (i.e. the position of a vertebra in a spine) is typically done by back palpation or under X-ray guidance, yielding either…
