Numerical Methods and Advanced Simulation in Biomechanics and Biological Processes

Numerical Methods and Advanced Simulation in Biomechanics and Biological Processes covers new and exciting modeling methods to help bioengineers tackle problems for which the Finite Element Method is not appropriate. The book covers a wide range of important subjects in the field of numerical methods applied to biomechanics, including bone biomechanics, tissue and cell mechanics, 3D printing, computer assisted surgery and fluid dynamics. Modeling strategies, technology and approaches are continuously evolving as the knowledge of biological processes increases. Both theory and applications are covered, making this an ideal book for researchers, students and R&D professionals. Provides non-conventional analysis methods for modelingCovers the Discrete Element Method (DEM), Particle Methods (PM), MessLess and MeshFree Methods (MLMF), Agent-Based Methods (ABM), Lattice-Boltzmann Methods (LBM) and Boundary Integral Methods (BIM)Includes contributions from several world renowned experts in their fieldsCompares pros and cons of each method to help you decide which method is most applicable to solving specific problems INDICE: PART I Finite Element Methods pFEM & higher order FE in bones and arteries FE & Particle, cortical bone tissue Biological and soft tissues by the PGD Dentinal tubules and Turing analysis Multi-scale FEA / novel materials PART II Boundary Integral Methods Bone poroelasticity Tissue analysis Bone remodeling Articular cartilage Part III Discrete and Particle Methods Wound healing and tumor analysis Cellular growth & migration Cell matrix, cell behavior Muscle-tendon analysis Hip contact PART IV Agent-based Methods Tissue mechanics Agent-based cancer modeling Orthopedics computed-assisted surgery Agent-based bioinspired automaton Cells formation PART V Meshless and Meshfree Methods Bone tissue remodeling Non-linear analysis of soft tissue Multiscale blood flow PART VI Lattice-Boltzmann Methods Flow dynamics, artificial heart valves Bioprinted tissue, tissue engineering
