... fracture. In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical (finite-element) model for osteonal bovine cortical bone was developed with account for its microstructure. The topology of a transverse-radial cross section of a bovine cortical bone was captured with optical microscopy. The elastic-plastic data...

... 25 11 2008 The human spine is a geometrically, non-linear complex structure. Solid models are widely used in spine modelling studies. There is a need for developing a generic parametric spine model to be employed in biomechanical modelling of the spine to reduce the complexity...

... 25 11 2008 This paper aims to combine neural network modelling with model-based fault detection. An accurate and robust model is critical in model-based fault detection. However, the development of such a model is the most difficult task especially when a non-linear system is involved...

... 25 11 2008 This paper presents the development and validation of a three-dimensional computational model of the human head and neck. The model has been produced to study the mechanics of the human cervical spine in response to automobile impacts. The complete head-neck model has been...

... 25 11 2008 A parametric anthropometric model of a pregnant woman has been produced for use in crash protection research. The model is based on anthropometric measurements of pregnant women, with the initial model representing a 5 th percentile woman in her 30 th week of gestation...

... 05 09 2008 This work presents the dynamical modelling of a flying multibody system. We consider a quadrirotor Helicopter composed of flexible and rigid components. We use the Lagrangian approach to define the equations governing the motion. Deformation modes are used to represent...

... Engineering Tehran, Iran, 14395 515 Abstract Pulsating heat pipes (PHPs) are devices that their performance strongly depends on many factors such as filling ratio, working fluid, internal diameter, and etc. Therefore, variety of such parameters must be considered in experimental data or an accurate model...
