  1. 1. Arm Injury Prediction with THUMS SAFER: Improvements of the THUMS SAFER upper extremity

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära; KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Mariam Bayat; Nichakarn Pongpairote; [2020]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; upper extremity; arm; validation; Total HUman Model for Saftey THUMS ; Finite Element Modelling FEM ; Biomekanik; övre extremitet; arm; validering; Total HUman Model for Saftey THUMS ; Finite Element Modellering FEM ;

    Abstract : Globally, approximately 1.2 million people die each year due to traffic accidents. Upper extremity injuries account for 18% to 25% of all car accident injuries. In order to be able to analyze these crash-related injuries, Human body models(HBMs) are used as a complement to FE simulations. READ MORE

    Abstract : In the 'on-the-go' society of today, the use of single unit beverage packages has increased. Consequently, the interaction between the consumer and the package have also attracted greater interest when trying to gain advantages in a competitive market. READ MORE

  5. 4. Three-dimensional constitutive finite element modeling of the Achilles tendon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Giacomo Longo; [2015]
    Keywords : Constitutive modeling; FEM; Achilles tendon; Soft tissue; Fluid behaviour; 3D geometry; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Tendons connect muscles to bones enabling efficient locomotion. This study focuses on the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest tendon in the body and fundamental for activities like walking, running and jumping. The Achilles tendon is the most frequently subjected tendon when it comes to injuries and ruptures. READ MORE

  6. 5. GPU accelerated Nonlinear Soft Tissue Deformation

    University essay from Medie- och Informationsteknik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Sathish Kottravel; [2012]
    Keywords : TLED; total Lagrangian explicit dynamics; CUDA; haptic; FEM;

    Abstract : There are two types of structures in human body, solid organs and hollow membrane like organs. Brain, liver and other soft tissues such as tendons, muscles, cartilage etc., are examples of solid organs. Colon and blood vessels are examples of hollow organs. READ MORE
