Finite element model of needle electrode sensitivity

Modeling of impact damage of sewing machine needle on woven fabric by finite element method

finite element model updating of a frame with direct and sensitivity-base methods

this paper presents an overview of model updating and particularly its application for updating of frame model. in this article a mathematical model of the frame was produced with finite element method. the frame was subjected to hammer modal testing. then the results of the modal testing were compared with those predicted with the model. this comparison revealed discrepancies between these two...

Design and Optimisation of Pacemaker Electrode using Finite Element Method

The optimised design and simulation of a pacemaker electrode has been presented in this paper for modelling of current distribution in human heart using Finite Element Method. The pacemaker electrode is placed inside the heart and helps to keep a normal rhythmic activity of the patient’s heart. This model deals with the current and potential distribution around the pacemaker electrode and study...

Finite Element Model Construction

Abstract This chapter explains the methodology to simulate total hip arthroplasty. Three-dimensional (3D) model of a femur was created from the Visible Human Project computed tomography dataset. Four different models of cementless hip stem were constructed from various file formats. Triangular surface mesh was manually repaired to ensure good finite element model for analyses. The implant surfa...

A Finite Element Model of Electrode Placement During Stimulus Evoked Electromyographic Monitoring of Iliosacral Screw Insertion

Pelvic ring fractures that occur as a result of substantial orthopedic trauma are frequently repaired using iliosacral screws to stabilize the fracture. Stimulus evoked electromyography, using pulsed current stimuli provided through the drill bit cathode, has been advocated to prevent nerve root injury during iliosacral screw insertion. Our objective was to examine the effects of anode location...
