Abstract: Finite strain elastostatics is expressed for general anisotropic, piecewise linear stiffening materials, in the form of a constrained minimization problem. The corresponding boundary value problem ...

Abstract: Digital image-based finite element meshing is an alternative approach to time-consuming conventional meshing techniques for generating realistic three-dimensional (3D) models of complex structures. ...

Abstract: An alternative concept of the relationship between morphological and elastic properties of trabecular bone is presented and applied to human tissue from several anatomical locations using a digital ...
