Non-invasive quantitative reconstruction of tissue elasticity using an iterative forward approach.

TL;DR: An iterative forward finite element approach has been developed to reconstruct Young's modulus from the measured vibrational motion, which is verified using simulated displacement data and using data from tissue-mimicking phantoms.

Real-time deformation and fracture in a game environment

TL;DR: An engine that is robust to unpredictable user interactions, fast enough to model reasonable scenarios at real-time speeds, suitable for use in the design of a game level, and with appropriate controls allowing content creators to match artistic direction is described.

A novel three-variable shear deformation plate formulation: Theory and Isogeometric implementation

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized formulation of three-variable plate theory and an efficient computational approach for analyzing plates were presented, which not only has three degree of freedoms (DOFs) per node, which complies with three dimensional space of full plate model as classical plate theory (CPT) but also accounts for the effect of shear deformation without any requirement of Shear correction factors (SCF).
