This paper presents the biomechanical finite element models that have been developed in the framework of the computer-assisted maxillofacial surgery. After a brief overview of the continuous elastic modelling method, two models are…
In this work, we extend the recently proposed adaptive phase field method to model fracture in orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs). A recovery type error indicator combined with quadtree decomposition is employed for adaptive…
A new field of numerical astrophysics is introduced which addresses the solution of large, multidimensional structural or slowly-evolving problems (rotating stars, interacting binaries, thick advective accretion disks, four dimensional…
We propose and analyze an adaptive finite element method for a phase-field model of dynamic brittle fracture. The model couples a second-order hyperbolic equation for elastodynamics with the Ambrosio-Tortorelli regularization of the…
The immersed finite element-finite difference (IFED) method is a computational approach to modeling interactions between a fluid and an immersed structure. This method uses a finite element (FE) method to approximate the stresses and forces…
This work develops a polygonal finite element method (PFEM) for the analysis of steady-state and transient thermal stresses in two dimensional continua. The method employs Wachspress rational basis functions to construct conforming…
A preliminary iterative 3D meso-scale structural model of the femur was developed, in which bar and shell elements were used to represent trabecular and cortical bone respectively. The cross-sectional areas of the bar elements and the…
We introduce a continuous modeling approach which combines elastic responds of the trabecular bone structure, the concentration of signaling molecules within the bone and a mechanism how this concentration at the bone surface is used for…
Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) can be investigated by means of non-linear Finite Element Models (FEM), suitable to capture large deflections of structural parts interacting with fluids, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). High…
Silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHA) macroporous scaffolds have been prepared by robocasting. In order to optimize their bone regeneration properties, we have manufactured these scaffolds presenting different microstructures:…
The advancements in additive manufacturing (AM) technology have allowed for the production of geometrically complex parts with customizable designs. This versatility benefits large-scale space-frame structures, as the individual design of…
A precise domain triangulation is recognized as indispensable for the accurate numerical approximation of differential operators within collocation methods, leading to a substantial reduction in discretization errors. An efficient finite…
Bone adapts in response to its mechanical environment. This evolution of bone density is one of the most important mechanisms for developing fracture resistance. A finite element framework for simulating bone adaptation, commonly called…
Precise lesion resection depends on accurately identifying fine-grained anatomical structures. While many coarse-grained segmentation (CGS) methods have been successful in large-scale segmentation (e.g., organs), they fall short in clinical…
Bone is a multiscale heterogeneous materiel of which principal function is to support the body structure and to resist mechanical loading and fractures. Bone strength does not depend only on the quantity and quality of bone which is…
Foundation models (FMs) are able to leverage large volumes of unlabeled data to demonstrate superior performance across a wide range of tasks. However, FMs developed for biomedical domains have largely remained unimodal, i.e., independently…
In this paper, we extend the recently proposed extended scaled boundary finite element method (xSBFEM)~\cite{natarajansong2013} to study fracture parameters of interfacial cracks and cracks terminating at the interface. The approach is also…
Biomaterials are becoming an essential tool in the study and application of stem cell research. Various types of biomaterials enable three-dimensional (3D) culture of stem cells, and, more recently, also enable high-resolution patterning…
Functionally Graded Material (FGM) is a type of advanced material consisting of two (or more) distinct substances with a constantly changing composition profile. FGM technologies have moved from their traditional use to advanced micro and…
A novel multi-scale finite element formulation for contact mechanics between nominally smooth but microscopically rough surfaces is herein proposed. The approach integrates the interface finite element method (FEM) for modelling interface…
