Simulation of the biomechanical behavior of organic tissues.

Abstract

In surgical simulation and planning systems as well as in industrial applications, it is increasingly important to develop applications with a high level of realism, not only for the immersion that can be achieved, but also so that the planning is based on parameters that are as realistic as possible. To achieve this, it is important to take into account the physical properties of the fabrics in question, the deformation processes they may undergo, as well as the type of interaction to be simulated.
The research group, based on Deformable Models and Biomechanical Modeling, focuses on the development of methods that allow the simulation of the biomechanical behavior of the organic tissues of interest.
The applications of these methods are very numerous: from the industrial ones, which allow predicting the behavior of organic tissues (such as leather) on designs prior to their manufacture, to the medical ones where they can be used to simulate the behavior of soft tissues (internal organs) useful in the development of simulation environments, planning and surgical guidance.
In this way, it is possible to improve diagnosis and surgical planning (in medical applications) and reduce costs in the launching of new designs as well as their production cycle (in industrial applications).
