Finite element modeling has emerged as an essential tool in understanding the complex biomechanics of the middle ear. By discretising the intricate anatomical structures—such as the tympanic membrane ...

Two mechanical engineering professors have won top honors from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Gerard Ateshian, Andrew Walz Professor of Mechanical Engineering and professor of ...

Abstract: Understanding the impact of thermally and mechanically loading biological tissue to supraphysiological levels is becoming of increasing importance as complex multi-physical tissue-device ...

The finite element discretization of nearly incompressible hyperelasticity problem for modelling soft-tissue mechanics leads to a large-scale nonlinear system, which is typically linearized using ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...
