Disc brakes are pivotal in ensuring vehicular safety by converting kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction. Thermal analysis and finite element modelling (FEM) have emerged as essential ...

Development of Deformity Specific Finite Element Models for Surgical Simulation of Anterior Vertebral Body Tether for Treating Scoliosis in Pediatric Subjects Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is ...

A groundbreaking study for the first time systematically clarifies the biomechanical effects of first coronal reverse vertebrae (FCRV) on adjacent intervertebral discs in degenerative lumbar scoliosis ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

For the first time, bioengineered spinal discs were successfully implanted and provided long-term function in the largest animal model ever evaluated for tissue-engineered disc replacement. A new Penn ...
