The clinical finite element analysis (FEA) application in maxillofacial surgery for mandibular
fracture is limited due to the lack of a validated FEA model. Therefore, this study aims to …

Most spine models belong to either the musculoskeletal multibody (MB) or finite element
(FE) method. Recently, coupling of MB and FE models has increasingly been used to …

In this article, a recent formulation for real-time simulation is developed combining the strain
energy density of the Spring Mass Model (SMM) with the equivalent representation of the …

Finite element models (FEM) of the tongue have facilitated speech studies through analysis
of internal muscle forces indirectly derived from imaging data. In this work, we build a …

Throat tumour margin control remains difficult due to the tight, enclosed space of the oral
and throat regions and the tissue deformation resulting from placement of retractors and …

The intricate and interdigitated musculature of the human tongue presents a formidable
challenge in quantifying functional traits for lingual behaviors, notably in speech articulation …

Modeling the lower limb muscles using the Finite Element (FE) method is required for
various applications including injury mechanisms or when stress/strain distribution in the …
