Featured Application Patient-specific, 3D CAD model of the mandible and of the proximal
femur can be obtained from a limited set of measurements; these models can be used for …

The great flexibility of emerging production processes based on additive manufacturing is
stimulating the development of automatic shape optimisation methods. Complex optimised …

We describe a computational approach to study the acousto–plasmonic coupling in metallic
nanoparticles. We use the high-level multiphysics finite element software FreeFEM …

Due to the difficulties in retrieving both the time-dependent shapes of the vessels and the
generation of numerical meshes for such cases, most of the simulations of blood flow in the …

Among optimization procedures, mesh morphing gained a relevant position: it proved to be
a suitable tool in obtaining weight and stress concentration reduction, without the need to …

2D finite element (FE) Q1 coarse mesh for fracture mechanics applications is shown. Radial
Basis Functions (RBF) are employed synergically with balance equations to reduce the …

Fracture mechanics analysis is nowadays adopted in several industrial fields to assess the
capability of components to withstand fatigue loads. Finite Element Method (FEM) is a well …

The algorithm is designed for multi-component hydrodynamic simulation and for solving
other physical and engineering problems. It is suggested for generating structured grids in …

The procedures that couple finite-element method (FEM) solutions and fluid dynamic solvers
to develop so-called high-fidelity fluid–structure interaction (FSI) numerical methods involve …

The study and design of cyclically loaded structures cannot neglect the evaluation of their
fatigue behavior. Today numerical prediction tools allow adopting, in various industrial …
