Abstract: The purpose of this work is to design a new layout for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for experimental customized control-system validation. Geometrical and structural properties have been computed, and commercial ...

Abstract: Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing is becoming increasingly popular, and a number of new devices have been recently introduced that, in the short term, appear to have satisfactory outcome but many ...

Abstract: Finite element (FE) models of long bones are widely used to analyze implant designs. Experimental validation has been used to examine the accuracy of FE models of cadaveric femurs; however, ...

Abstract: The complex geometry of cancellous bone tissue makes it difficult to generate finite element (FE) models. Only a few studies investigated the convergence behavior at the tissue scale using Cartesian meshes. However, these ...
