RISModeling Degenerative Disk Disease in the Lumbar Spine: A Combined Experimental, Constitutive, and Computational Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using a continuum approach for modeling the constitutive mechanical behavior of the intervertebral disk’s annulus fibrosus holds the potential for facilitating the correlation of morphology and ...
Finite Element Lumbar Spine Facet Contact Parameter Predictions are Affected by the Cartilage Thickness Distribution and Initial Joint Gap Size
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current finite element modeling techniques utilize geometrically inaccurate cartilage distribution representations in the lumbar spine. We hypothesize that this shortcoming severely limits the ...
