3D COMPUTATIONAL MODEL OF THE HUMAN KNEE AND STRESS/STRAIN DISTRIBUTION STUDIES
INSIDE SOFT TISSUES FOR DIFFERENT MOVEMENTS
GRANT: „Biomechanical virtual model for investigation, kinematics study and optimization of prosthetic implant for gait rehabilitation”, supported by National University Research Council from Romania, Contract No. 33547-2003, 2003-2005
|
The main objectives of this grant were to develop a dynamic accurate and realistic 3D model of the human knee and to evaluate and understand the loading condition of soft tissues and their mechanical responses. |
