Modeling the deflection of flexible needles is an essential part of needle insertion simulation and path planning. In this paper, three models are compared in terms of accuracy in ...
Methods are documented for active and passive damping studies with capabilities within NX I-deas and NX Nastran (http://www.ugs.com/products/nx/). The focus is on the methods that ...
The numerical solution of linear systems with certain tensor product structures is considered. Such structures arise, for example, from the finite element discretization of a line...
The modeling of soft tissue behavior is essential in haptic rendering for virtual reality based medical simulators, which provide a safe and objective medium for training medical ...
We deal with the iterative solution of linear systems arising from so-called dual-dual mixed finite element formulations. The linear systems are of a two-fold saddle point structur...
