Basic Finite Element Method as Applied to Injury Biomechanics

Author: King-Hay Yang

Introduction to Finite Element Methods

Basic Finite Element Method as Applied to Injury Biomechanics offers a unique introduction to finite element methods. Unlike other books on the topic, this comprehensive reference teaches readers to develop a finite element model from the beginning, including all the appropriate theories that are needed throughout the model development process.

Key Features

This book focuses on how to apply material properties and loading conditions to the model, how to arrange the information in the order of head, neck, upper torso and upper extremity, lower torso and pelvis and lower extremity. It covers scaling from one body size to the other, parametric modeling and joint positioning, and is an ideal text for teaching, further reading and for its unique application to injury biomechanics.

Author’s Expertise

With over 25 years of experience of developing finite element models, the author’s experience with tissue level injury threshold instead of external loading conditions provides a guide to the “dos and don’ts” of using finite element method to study injury biomechanics.
