Abstract: Understanding the impact of thermally and mechanically loading biological tissue to supraphysiological levels is becoming of increasing importance as complex multi-physical tissue-device ...

Watch out — You can get different results depending on how you mesh the model. Second-order shell elements: Meshing the thin band with secondorder-shell elements produces precise curvilinear geometry.

The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

Finite element modelling is widely used in industry to solve an endless number of practical problems, often involving non-linearity and dynamic loading. This module will teach how to robustly develop ...
