Finite element modelling of the lumbar spine has emerged as a cornerstone of modern spinal biomechanics, offering detailed insights into load transmission, tissue deformation and stress distribution ...

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 ...

Some of the assays actively developed in a Lab-on-a-Chip format require temperature control, mostly heating to a specified range for the duration of the assay. In a highly portable system with limited ...
