Multibody modelling is underutilised in craniofacial analyses, particularly when compared to
other computational methods such as finite element analysis. However, there are many …

Evaluating stress and strain fields in anatomical structures is a way to test hypotheses that
relate specific features of facial and skeletal morphology to mechanical loading. Engineering …

Computer-based simulation techniques such as multi-body dynamics analysis are becoming
increasingly popular in the field of skull mechanics. Multi-body models can be used for …

The tissue scale is an important spatial scale for modeling the human body. Tissue-scale
biomechanical simulations can be used to estimate the internal muscle stresses and bone …

Surgical reconstruction of craniofacial deformities has advanced significantly in recent years.
However, unlike orthopedic surgery of the appendicular skeleton, the biomechanical …

Recent developments in simulating musculoskeletal functioning in the craniofacial complex
using multibody dynamic analysis and finite elements analysis enable comprehensive …

Multi-body dynamics is a powerful engineering tool which is becoming increasingly popular
for the simulation and analysis of skull biomechanics. This paper presents the first …

An accurate, dynamic, functional model of the skull that can be used to predict muscle
forces, bite forces, and joint reaction forces would have many uses across a broad range of …

Developing a more complete understanding of the mechanical response of the craniofacial
skeleton (CFS) to physiological loads is fundamental to improving treatment for traumatic …

Models are mathematical representations of systems, processes or phenomena. In
biomechanics, finite-element modelling (FEM) can be a powerful tool, allowing biologists to …
