Fall prevention is one of the most important functions of walking assistance devices for user's safety. It is preferable that these devices prevent the user from being in the state where the risk of falling is high rather than helping them recovering...
The mechanical loading environment encountered by articular cartilage in situ makes frictional-shear testing an invaluable technique for assessing engineered cartilage. Despite the important information that is gained from this testing, it remains un...

This study aimed to enhance vertebral implant design by using a parametric spine model and advanced simulation techniques to evaluate biomechanical behaviours under dynamic physiological conditions using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in ANSYS Workben...
. Accurately and in real-time simulating soft tissue deformation and visualizing stress distribution are crucial for advancing surgical simulators closer to real surgical environments. The concept of using neural networks to accelerate the finite ele...
In this work, we developed deep neural networks for the fast and comprehensive estimation of the most salient features of aortic blood flow. These features include velocity magnitude and direction, 3D pressure, and wall shear stress. Starting from 40...
High-fidelity numerical simulations such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been proven effective in analysing haemodynamics, offering insight into many vascular conditions. However, these methods often face challenges of high computational c...
