... adopted alternate dual action of the two femurs to the pelvis [ 21 ]. Still, the clamping of the pelvis, the magnitude of the hip joints or muscles loading, and its orientation were not investigated computationally to design the experiment in a way that reproduces similar stress distribution...

Using the finite element results, a statistical method of design of experiments (DOE) was utilized to independently screen the relative influences of seven parameters related to brain morphology...

...) and design of experiments (DOE) has been used to evaluate the “optimal configuration.” The use of CFD couple with DOE is a novel concept, which harnesses the computational power of CFD in the most efficient manner for prediction of the mass flow rate in the catheter. biological fluid dynamics biological...

We used a previously developed finite element model (FEM) of the medial compartment of the tibio-menisco-femoral joint, which was derived from magnetic resonance images (MRI) of a human...
