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 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,...
