Patient-specific Finite Element Model of the Buttocks for Pressure Ulcer Prevention – Linear vs Non-Linear Modeling
Currently available techniques and/or protocols designed to prevent pressure sore formation in persons with spinal cord injury and wheelchair users are mainly based on the improvement of the skin/support interface and on a postural and behavioral education. These techniques however, seem to lack efficiency as the prevalence and incidence of pressure sore still remains very high. Development and...
متن کاملSeepage Analysis through Rockfill Dams by Finite Element Method in a Fixed Gird
In this paper, Forchheimer equation is used as the constitutive equation for flow through rockfill, and the non-linear two-dimensional governing equation with free surface is solved by a new finite element method in a fixed grid. The model is verified by applying it to different flow conditions. The first scenario, which is assumed to be one-dimensional with analytical solution available for it...

متن کاملNonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...
متن کاملNon Uniform Rational B Spline (NURBS) Based Non-Linear Analysis of Straight Beams with Mixed Formulations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed traditionally using conventional finite element basis functions (i.e., cubic Hermite, equi-spaced Lagrange interpolation functions, or spectral/hp Legendre functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, tota...
