By a d-dimensional B-spline object (denoted as Od ), we mean a B-spline curve (d = 1), a B-spline surface (d = 2) or a B-spline volume (d = 3). By regularization of a B-spline obj...
A set of object oriented tools is presented which, when combined, yield an efficient parallel finite element program. Special emphasis is given to details within the concept of the...
Bifurcation theory provides a powerful tool for analyzing the nonlinear dynamic behavior of process systems. However, although the theory in principle applies to lumped as well as...
This study presents a haptic simulator for learning palpation of aorta in cardiovascular surgery and performs quantitative evaluation in educational use through some user study. T...
Abstract—A methodology for estimating the force distribution that occurs along a needle shaft during insertion is described. To validate the approach, an experimental system for ...
