Mesh-morphing algorithms for specimen-specific finite element modeling.
Despite recent advances in software for meshing specimen-specific geometries, considerable effort is still often required to produce and analyze specimen-specific models suitable for biomechanical analysis through finite element modeling. We hypothesize that it is possible to obtain accurate models by adapting a pre-existing geometry to represent a target specimen using morphing techniques. Her...
متن کاملIntroduction to Finite Element Methods
Finite element methods are based on the variational formulation of partial differential equations which only need to compute the gradient of a function. Although unknowns are still associated to nodes, the function composed by piece-wise polynomials on each element and thus the gradient can be computed element-wise. Finite element spaces can thus be constructed on general triangulations and thi...
متن کاملIntroduction to Finite Element Methods
In a di erential equations course, one typically studies a few classes of problems for which there are closed form solutions, such as ordinary, linear di erential equations with constant coe cients. Most problems of interest in real world simulation problems are much more complex, however, involving domains of two or more dimensions or nonlinear e ects, yielding partial di erential equations or...
متن کاملFinite Element Methods for Convection Diffusion Equation
This paper deals with the finite element solution of the convection diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. Two main techniques are adopted and compared. The first one includes Petrov-Galerkin based on Lagrangian tensor product elements in conjunction with streamlined upwinding. The second approach represents Bubnov/Petrov-Galerkin schemes based on a new group of exponential elements. It ...
