Finite element models of the human tongue: a mixed-element mesh approach
One of the key factors for obtaining accurate and reliable results using the Finite Element Method (FEM) is the discretization of the domain. Traditionally, two main types of elements are used for three-dimensional mesh generation: tetrahedral and hexahedral elements. Tetrahedral meshes are automatically generated but standard displacement-based tetrahedral elements generally suffer from perfor...
متن کامل3D NOffset mixed-element mesh generator approach
In this paper we present a new approach to generate a mixed mesh with elements aligned to boundary/interfaces wherever is required. A valid element is: (a) any convex co-spherical element that fulfills the requirements of the underlying numerical method and (b) any element that satisfies domain specific geometric features of the model. The algorithm is based on the normal offsetting approach to...
متن کاملFinite element modeling of the human head under baton impact
Purpose: This research will try to predict damage probability and calculate the main stress resulted from baton impacts by finite element (FE) modeling of the human head considering skull texture, brain and cerebrospinal fluid.Materials and Methods: A three dimensional FE model of the skull-brain complex was constructed for simulating the baton impact. The FE analysis was carried out using ANSY...
متن کاملFast Finite Element Method Using Multi-Step Mesh Process
This paper introduces a new method for accelerating current sluggish FEM and improving memory demand in FEM problems with high node resolution or bulky structures. Like most of the numerical methods, FEM results to a matrix equation which normally has huge dimension. Breaking the main matrix equation into several smaller size matrices, the solving procedure can be accelerated. For implementing ...
متن کاملFinite element modeling of the tongue
There is an increased need to study the human oropharyngeal anatomy for research in speech production, feeding motion, and breathing activities. Computational anatomic models are also useful to conduct virtual experiments without extensive use of human subjects, to plan and train surgeries. Recent improved methods for fast and high resolution imaging of internal organs, such as, Magnetic Resona...
