While addressing this aspect, a finite element model of a hip joint bearing consisting of zirconia-toughened alumina femoral head and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene liner was developed to predict the dynamic wear response of the liner. The Archard–Lancaster equation, consisting of surface...

... conduction of the pelvic and sacroiliac joint surfaces, most finite element models for pelvic analysis focus on bone and ligament functions. The analysis of real pelvic mechanical properties should include bone, cartilage, and ligament and muscle tissue. Areas with greater increases in average principal...

An increase of the TM displacement after blast exposure was observed in the posterior region of the TM in four temporal bone samples at the frequencies between 3 and 4 kHz. A finite element model of human TM with multilayer microstructure and orthogonal...

... in preventing delamination at the interface. An idealized finite element model of the medial compartment of the knee was created, including a circular defect and an osteochondral implant. Damage and failure of fibrin at the interface was represented by a cohesive zone model with coefficients determined from...

... of the most complete computational models currently available in the literature includes the finite element model of Denny and Schroter ([( 40 ), 53 ]). The model consists of 36 truncated octahedra, with line elements (composed of elastin and collagen) located at septal borders and within the septal walls...

Finite element models (FEMs) of bullet, armor, and gelatin and clay targets were developed with material parameters selected to best fit model calculations to the test measurements. FEMs of bullet and armor interactions were then assembled with a FEM of a human torso and FEMs of clay...
