Journal Club Theme of January 2012: Mechanics of Growth

Submitted by lncool on

"I can't understand how people are still working on growth. That stuff's all done." This was the beginning of the first lunch conversation at a recent Banff workshop on Mathematical Foundations on Mechanical Biology... somewhat frustrating for someone who is excited about growth. Fortunately, most of the presentations and discussions still focused on growth. Although "that stuff's all done".

Image-Based Simulation Workshop

Submitted by Simpleware on

WORKSHOP: Image-based Simulation for Biomechanics, Materials Applications, and Reverse Engineering



This workshop is aimed at those interested in 3D reconstruction from radiology images, and in using 3D image data (as obtained from CT, Micro-CT, MRI and Ultrasound) to generate Rapid Prototyping, CAD, and Finite Element models.



Participants will learn:

•    how to generate computer models from your 3D image data

•    how to import and position CAD files in the image data

The following is a synopsis of the announcements. 



Tenure Track Junior Faculty Opening

Materialise & Simulia Medical Engineering Seminar

Submitted by Mimics on

Materialise and Dassault Systemes Simulia Benelux are pleased to announce their co-organized Medical Engineering Seminar which will take place on 4 October 2011, at the Materialise HQ in Leuven, Belgium. The Medical Engineering Seminar is a meeting for and by users and aims to bring together biomechanical engineers currently working, or interested in patient-realistic finite element modeling.

 

hyperelastic or elastic skin model in Abaqus

Submitted by Izabela on

Dears,  I am quite new in the area of Abaqus models and biomechanics. My background is related with textiles. However I am a post doc in Belgium at the moment and my new task is to model a fingertip skin section under the influence of contact with different objects.
