CONVECTION OF HEAT AND HEAT TRANSFER
HUMAN BODY MODELLING
► Quick analysis of impacts
(motion of a vehicle’s occupants)
► Inverse dynamics (analysis of muscular tension)
► Description of injuries, including clinical applications
(tissue tension during childbirth)
► Hybrid approach (combination of
MBS and FEM), scalable models
of a desired weight, age and sex
► Development of a unique FEM solver (http://sfepy.org)
for modelling materials with a complex inner
structure and redistribution of mass
HUMAN BODY MONITORING
► From the first idea up to a functional prototype
► Optimized hardware and software for
continuous on-line contact and non-contact
measurement (temperature, EMG, acceleration, posture)
► Software for control, transfer,
visualization and analysis of data
► Links to an individualized virtual human model
(respecting the weight and basic antropometry)
in order to better represent a specific individual
► Detection of muscle strain, optimization of rehabilitation
