Basic Finite Element Method as Applied to Injury Biomechanics (PDF)

Product Description

Basic Finite Element Method as Applied to Injury Biomechanics, written by King-Hay Yang, provides readers with a unique introduction to finite element methods. This comprehensive reference book teaches readers to develop a finite element model from the beginning, including all the appropriate theories that are needed throughout the model development process. Unlike other books on the topic, it focuses on applying material properties and loading conditions to the model and arranging the information in the order of head, neck, upper torso and upper extremity, lower torso and pelvis and lower extremity. The book covers scaling from one body size to the other, parametric modeling and joint positioning, and is an ideal text for teaching, further reading and for its unique application to injury biomechanics.

With over 25 years of experience in developing finite element models, the author’s experience with tissue level injury threshold instead of external loading conditions provides a guide to the “do’s and don’ts” of using the finite element method to study injury biomechanics.

• The book covers the fundamentals and applications of finite element methods in injury biomechanics.
• Readers can learn model development through a hands-on approach ideal for students and researchers.
• The book includes different modeling schemes used to model different parts of the body, including related constitutive laws and associated material properties.
