Background Globally, 1% of the population is affected by arthritis of the foot and ankle. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis, resulting from ankle injury or chronic ankle instability, accounts for more ...

Under the Engineering Roadmap, Biocore and FRI—with funding support provided by the NFL—collaborated with partners at the University of Virginia, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, KTH Royal ...

Watch out — You can get different results depending on how you mesh the model. Second-order shell elements: Meshing the thin band with secondorder-shell elements produces precise curvilinear geometry.

The finite element method is a powerful numerical technique that is used in all major engineering industries - in this video we'll explore how it works. We'll look at why it's useful to split the body ...

Finite element modelling is widely used in industry to solve an endless number of practical problems, often involving non-linearity and dynamic loading. This module will teach how to robustly develop ...

This paper provides an error analysis for the Crank-Nicolson extrapolation scheme of time discretization applied to the spatially discrete stabilized finite element ...
