Department activities:
The department develops human body models based either on multi-body system (MBS) approach or using the finite element method (FEM). The models enable modelling of human behaviour and response for impact loading such as car accident is. Whilst the MBS model is useful for fast analysis of the phenomena, the FEM model enables detailed analysis of human body behaviour including injury prediction. Moreover, the MBS model accommodating muscles is useful for the ergonomy and comfort analysis. Further, the department focuses on development of algorithms and software for modelling material with complex inner structure and mass redistribution. It deals mainly but not only with biological material related to the human body model, especially the heart muscle and aorta. Another application is piezo-phononic materials modelling and optimization where the homogenization methods are also developed.
