A 3D Continuum Finite Element Muscle Model for the Investigation of Cervical Spine Load-Sharing Mechanisms and Injury Assessment during Impact Loading Scenarios
DownloadFall 2018
The mechanical behavior of the individual cervical tissues as well as the head-neck complex kinematics plays a very important role in proper functioning of the cervical spine and is a key factor in more appropriate understanding of injury mechanism, prevention, detection, control and treatment....

On Load-Sharing in the Lumbosacral Spine during Neutral Standing and Forward Flexion Postures: A Combined Finite Element and Musculoskeletal Study
DownloadSpring 2019
Understanding load-sharing in the spine during in-vivo conditions is critical for better spinal implant design and testing. Previous studies of load-sharing that considered detailed spinal geometry applied compressive Follower Load (FL), with or without moment, to simulate muscle forces. Other...

On the Lumbosacral Spine Geometry Variation and Spinal Load-Sharing: Personalized Finite Element Modelling
DownloadSpring 2016
Computational modeling of the lumbar spine provides insights on kinematics and internal load development and distribution along the spine. Geometry (size and shape) of the spinal structures and more particularly sagittal curvature of the spine governs its response to mechanical loading. Thus,...

Prediction of Load-Sharing Mechanisms and Patterns of Human Cervical Spine Injuries Due to High-Velocity Impact Using Finite Element Method
DownloadFall 2013
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the loading rate dependency, load-sharing and injury mechanisms of the C2-C3 cervical spine unit. A ligamentous bio-realistic finite element model was constructed considering comprehensive geometrical representation at tissue level components...
