Australia have been reinforced by the return of Will Skelton and Rob Valetini for their do-or-die second Test against the British and Irish Lions in Melbourne on Saturday. Skelton and Valetini have ...

The direct effect of macroscopic loads on the microstructure of bone tissue in a vibration environment is not yet known. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the macro- and micro-biomechanical ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

This contribution proposes two third-order numerical schemes for solving time-dependent linear and non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs). For spatial discretization, a compact fourth-order ...

Two new approaches allow deep neural networks to solve entire families of partial differential equations, making it easier to model complicated systems and to do so orders of magnitude faster. In high ...

This study presents a semi-automatic framework to create subject-specific total knee replacement finite element models, which can be used to analyze locomotion patterns and evaluate knee dynamics. In ...

Numerous spine Finite Element (FE) models have been developed to assess spinal tolerances, spinal loadings and low back pain-related issues. However, justified simplifications, in terms of tissue ...

The possibility of using a nodal method allowing irregular distribution of nodes in a natural way is one of the main advantages of the generalized finite difference method (GFDM) with regard to the ...

According to Weber's psychological theory of the finite pool of worry, people avoid dealing with multiple negative events at the same time. Consistent with this theory, as people worry more about the ...
