Modeling of human calvarium under static loading

چکیده
There are many papers on head modeling in literature [1]. Generally, the topic of most of them is designing and modeling devices for head (especially brain) protection, e.g. helmets. On the other side, most papers are about modeling of whole part of top body (a torso and a head). The main aim of these researches is simulation of the backbone behavior under external load applied to the head. The cranium or calvarium bones simulation is very rare is presented in scientific literature [2]. The main aim of this paper is to present results of simulations of cranium injures. In fact, real injures observed in cranium bones are caused by time-depend (dynamic) loads (e.g. communication accidents, shots). But in this work the initial results are presented. In the assumed models the static (or quasi-static) loads were applied on different areas the frontal part of the cranium in order to observe stress state. Thus, it would be possible to find place where bone tissue may crack.

The Behavior of Suction Bucket under Cyclic Loading in Saturated Lands
Numerical modeling was carried out to investigate the responses of suction bucket foundations under vertical cyclic loading. Numerical results were compared with centrifuge experiment results. Before the capacity of the model suction bucket to resist cyclic loading could be investigated, the static pullout capacities had to be determined. The buckets with different aspect ratio are investigated...
متن کاملOn the effect of grain size on rock behavior under cyclic loading by distinct element method
It is well-known that the mechanical behavior of rocks under cyclic loading is much different from static loading conditions. In most constructions, the load applied to structures is within dynamic ranges. That’s why a great deal of attention has been paid towards this field in order to identify the dynamic behavior of rocks in more details. Nevertheless, the nature of dynamic failure in rocks ...

Finite Element Analysis of Different Hip Implant Designs along with Femur under Static Loading Conditions
Background: The hip joint is the largest joint after the knee, which gives stability to the whole human structure. The hip joint consists of a femoral head which articulates with the acetabulum. Due to age and wear between the joints, these joints need to be replaced with implants which can function just as a natural joint. Since the early 19th century, the hip joint arthroplasty has evolved, a...
متن کاملProgressive Damage Analysis of Laminated Composites using Continuum Damage Mechanics
In this paper, progressive damage and global failure of composite laminates under quasi-static, monotonic loading are investigated using 3D continuum damage mechanics. For this purpose, a finite element program has been developed using an eight-node 2D layered element including layer-wise plate theory. Damage analysis of a single orthotropic layer under various uniform in-plane and transverse l...
