The considered prosthesis is fabricated from a functionally graded material (FGM) comprising a layer of a titanium alloy bonded to a layer of hydroxyapatite. The elastic modulus of the FGM was adjusted in the radial, longitudinal, and longitudinal-radial directions by altering the volume fraction gradient exponent. Four cases were studied, involving two different methods of anchoring the prosthesis to the spongy bone and two cases of applied loading. The results revealed that the FG prostheses provoked more SED to the bone. The FG prostheses carried less stress, while more stress was induced to the bone and cement. Meanwhile, less shear interface stress was stimulated to the prosthesis-bone interface in the noncemented FG prostheses. The cement-bone interface carried more stress compared to the prosthesis-cement interface. Stair climbing induced more harmful effects to the implanted femur components compared to the normal walking by causing more stress. Therefore, stress shielding, developed stresses, and interface stresses in the THR components could be adjusted through the controlling stiffness of the FG prosthesis by managing volume fraction gradient exponent.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @article{BanihaniRabczukAlmomani, author = {Banihani, Suleiman and Rabczuk, Timon and Almomani, Thakir}, title = {POD for real-time simulation of hyperelastic soft biological tissue using the point collocation method of finite spheres}, series = {Mathematical Problems in Engineering}, journal = {Mathematical Problems in Engineering}, doi = {10.1155/2013/386501}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170413-31203}, abstract = {The point collocation method of finite spheres (PCMFS) is used to model the hyperelastic response of soft biological tissue in real time within the framework of virtual surgery simulation. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) model order reduction (MOR) technique was used to achieve reduced-order model of the problem, minimizing computational cost. The PCMFS is a physics-based meshfree numerical technique for real-time simulation of surgical procedures where the approximation functions are applied directly on the strong form of the boundary value problem without the need for integration, increasing computational efficiency. Since computational speed has a significant role in simulation of surgical procedures, the proposed technique was able to model realistic nonlinear behavior of organs in real time. Numerical results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new methodology through a comparison between full and reduced analyses for several nonlinear problems. It is shown that the proposed technique was able to achieve good agreement with the full model; moreover, the computational and data storage costs were significantly reduced.}, subject = {Chirurgie}, language = {en} } @article{GalffyWellmannJelicHartmann2004, author = {Galffy, Mozes and Wellmann Jelic, Andres and Hartmann, Dietrich}, title = {Lifetime-oriented modelling of vortex-induced across-wind vibrations on bridge tie rods}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.253}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2536}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The influence of vortex-induces vibrations on vertical tie rods has been proved as a determinant load factor in the lifetime-oriented dimensioning of arched steel bridges.

In the present report an efficient and sufficiently general method for optimal design of thin plates is worked out on the basis of energy resonance method of Wilder, the method of the finite elements for dynamic research and the methods of parameter optimization. By means of these methods various limitations and requirements put by the designer to the plates can be taken into account. A programme module for numerical investigation of the weight variation of the plate depending on the taken variable of the designed thickness at different supporting conditions is developed.

However, for steel structures, a certain degree of plasticization depending on the member classification may be considered. Corresponding plastic analyses taking material nonlinearities into account are effectively realized using numerical methods. Frequently applied finite elements of two and three-dimensional models evaluate the plasticity at defined nodes using a yield surface, i.e. by a yield condition, hardening rule, and flow rule. Corresponding calculations are connected to a large numerical as well as time-consuming effort and they do not rely on the theoretical background of beam theory, to which the regulations of standards mainly correspond. For that reason, methods using beam elements (one-dimensional) combined with cross-sectional analyses are commonly applied for steel members in terms of plastic zones theories. In these approaches, plasticization is in general assessed by means of axial stress only. In this paper, more precise numerical representation of the combined stress states, i.e. axial and shear stresses, is presented and results of the proposed approach are validated and discussed.}, subject = {Stahlkonstruktion}, language = {en} } @article{KaapkeMilbradt2004, author = {Kaapke, Kai and Milbradt, Peter}, title = {Voronoi-based finite volume method for transport problems}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.255}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2558}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Transport problems, as, for instance, the transport of sediment in hydraulic engineering and the transport of harmful substances through porous media, play an important role in many fields of civil engineering.
