FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF AORTAL BIFURCATION
Arterial bifurcations loaded by internal pressure represent significant stress concentrators. Increased mechanical stress inside arterial wall probably accelerates pathogenic processes at these places.

Finite Element de Rham and Stokes Complexes in Three Dimensions [PDF]
Finite element de Rham complexes and finite element Stokes complexes with various smoothness in three dimensions are systematically constructed. First smooth scalar finite elements in three dimensions are derived through a non-overlapping decomposition of the simplicial lattice.

Finite element grad grad complexes and elasticity complexes on cuboid meshes [PDF]
This paper constructs two conforming finite element grad grad and elasticity complexes on the cuboid meshes. For the finite element grad grad complex, an $H^2$ conforming finite element space, an $\boldsymbol{H}(\operatorname{curl}; \mathbb{S})$ conforming finite element space, an $\boldsymbol{H}(\operatorname{div}; \mathbb{T})$ conforming finite ...

Convergence of Dziuk's semidiscrete finite element method for mean curvature flow of closed surfaces with high-order finite elements [PDF]
Dziuk's surface finite element method for mean curvature flow has had significant impact on the development of parametric and evolving surface finite element methods for surface evolution equations and curvature flows. However, Dziuk's surface finite element method for mean curvature flow of closed surfaces remains still open since it was proposed in ...

Finite element analysis of footwear and ground interaction [PDF]
Military boots are designed to prevent the soft tissue and skeletal structure of the feet from damage under heavy usage. Good slip-resistant tread patterns of the outer-sole are vital to minimise the risk or severity of slipping under demanding ...

Probabilistic Study of Bone Remodeling Using Finite Element Analysis
The dynamic bone remodeling process is a computationally challenging research area that struggles to understand the actual mechanisms. It has been observed that a mechanical stimulus in the bone greatly affects the remodeling process. A 3D finite element

Towards tangled finite element analysis over partially inverted hexahedral elements [PDF]
If a finite element mesh contains concave elements, it is said to tangled. Tangled meshes can occur during mesh generation, mesh optimization, and large deformation simulations, and will lead to erroneous results during finite element analysis. Recently, the authors introduced the tangled finite element method (TFEM) to accurately handle tangled 2D ...

Two-Dimensional Automatic Mesh Generator for Finite Element Analysis [PDF]
In this study a new automatic mesh generator for 2- dimensional finite element analysis is proposed, and its effectivity is surveyed through a number of test examples. Proposed one is for a micro-computer, and the program is written in BASIC.
