Playing with #FiniteElementAnalysis of an "expansion mesh" like structure. The geometry, mesh and boundary condition creation, as well as the FEA analysis, all occur automatically.

This simulation is still elastic, next step is to add plasticity.

#ComputationalMechanics #GIBBON

So satisfying to finally reach 100% code coverage for testing!

Hoping to publish paper on Comodo by the end of the year. If you are into #ComputationalMechanics #Biomechanics #GeometryProcessing #FiniteElementAnalysis help to contribute to Comodo.jl and FEBio.jl and you'll be one of the authors!

Interesting paper by @jedbrown et al.

https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2401.13196

For computational mechanics/physics, if you code by just punching in the equations from the textbooks directly, the physics should work, but computationally the way you evaluate the quantities may be unstable. This paper lists some recipes to avoid these.

Mostly small strain problem, but still feels icky to leave in.

Saw a paper on a soft robotic star thing, and had to check. Yep I can confirm, it looks like it can grab things.

GIBBON is ready for #CMBBE2023 ! Heading to Paris tomorrow and can't wait to present the latest implementations and upgrades for FEBio4.

If you are attending the workshop, upgrade GIBBON to the latest version:

Checking out "Taubin" smoothing. Looks great for smoothing voxel derived meshes. Video shows voxel mesh (red) of a femur and the Taubin smoothed surface retrieved (white).

Here the strain that you think you are applying (red curve) and the real strain in the middle layer (green curve) are plotted over time. As you can see a compressive Z-strain builds up during clamping which may offset the strain graph a lot.
Note this is Green-Lagrange strain. The linear tensile strain intended to be applied is 30%, the linear clamping strain is -30%.

Indentation with a twist.

The rigid ball pushes into the rubber-like hyperelastic cube while also spinning. Friction then transfers torsional forces to the cube as well.

Uses #opensource GIBBON codes for lattice structure+model creation

Automated meshing of a bifurcation (e.g. for blood vessel #FiniteElementAnalysis) with hexahedral elements using #opensource #GIBBON toolbox.

1) Take a cylinder
2) Cut a hole at bifurcation curve
3) Create direction vectors for surface "departure and arrival"
4) Use smooth bezier spline based lofting
5) Thicken quads to form hex. elements.

Demo rendered here:
https://www.gibboncode.org/html/DEMO_mesh_bifurcation_cut_loft_branch.html

Bezier approach was inspired by @acegikmo 's spline work
