Real-time simulation of organs increases comfort and safety for patients during the surgery. Proper generalized decomposition (PGD) is an efficient numerical method with coordinate errors below 1 mm and response time below 0.1 s that can be used for ...
Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are commonly used as heart valve replacements but they are prone to fatigue failure; estimating their remaining life directly from medical images is difficult. Analyzing the valve performance can provide better guida...
Numerical analysis methods including finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis have been used to study the biomechanics of human tissues and organs, as well as tissue-medical dev...
Muscular hydrostats have long been a source of inspiration for soft robotic designs. With their inherent compliance, they excel in unpredictable environments and can gently manipulate objects with ease. However, their performance lacks where high for...
The finite element method (FEM) is among the most commonly used numerical methods for solving engineering problems. Due to its computational cost, various ideas have been introduced to reduce computation times, such as domain decomposition, parallel ...
Real-time simulation of bio-heat transfer can improve surgical feedback in thermo-therapeutic treatment, leading to technical innovations to surgical process and improvements to patient outcomes; however, it is challenging to achieve real-time comput...
