SFEMs avoid shortcomings of the standard Finite Element Method (FEM) with lower order elements such as overly stiff behavior, poor stress solution, and locking effects. Based on the idea of averaging spatially the standard strain field of the FEM over so-called smoothing domains SFEM calculates the stiffness matrix for the same number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) as those of the FEM. However, the SFEMs significantly improve accuracy and convergence even for distorted meshes and/or nearly incompressible materials. Numerical results of the SFEMs for a cardiac tissue membrane (thin plate inflation) and an artery (tension of 3D tube) show clearly their advantageous properties in improving accuracy particularly for the distorted meshes and avoiding shear locking effects.}, language = {en} } @article{HacklMuellerStaatetal.2016, author = {Hackl, Michael and M{\"u}ller, Lars-Peter and Staat, Manfred and Kahmann, Stephanie Lucina and Wegmann, Kilian}, title = {Proximal phalangeal neck fractures of the hand — a biomechanical comparison of three fixation techniques}, series = {Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy}, volume = {Volume 24}, journal = {Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy}, number = {Supplement 1}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0942-2056}, doi = {10.1007/s00167-016-4080-7}, pages = {148 -- 149}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Plate osteosynthesis of displaced proximal phalangeal neck fractures of the hand allows early mobilization due to a stable internal fixation. Nevertheless, joint stiffness—because of soft tissue irritation—represents a common complication leading to high complication rates. Del Pinal et al. recently reported promising clinical results for a new, minimally invasive fixation technique with a cannulated headless intramedullary compression screw. Hence, the aim of this study was to compare plate fixation of proximal phalangeal neck fractures to less two less invasive techniques: Crossed k-wire fixation and intramedullary screw fixation. We hypothesized that these fixation techniques provide inferior stability when compared to plate osteosynthesis.}, language = {en} } @article{AimenovaDigelEshibaev2016, author = {Aimenova, Zh.

From the obtained data is visible, that the given species of a plant is endemic. It is established, that dynamics of accumulation of lagochirzin in phytomass accrues from the beginning to the middle of the growing season. The chemical analysis of L.setulosus on a localization of lagochirzin in various organs of a plant, has shown, that the greatest quantity of lagochirzin collects in calyx lobes of the plants. Also it is established, that L.setulosus can be cultivated in the conditions of the typical sierozem, a mineral food is necessary for the given species of plants of Lagochilus genus, except nitric fertilizers. Comparative studying of wild-growing and cultural forms of L.setulosus has shown, that in the cultivated phytomass of plants the maintenance of lagochirzin on 17-20 \% higher than in the wild-growing species.}, language = {en} } @article{DiktaReisselHarlass2016, author = {Dikta, Gerhard and Reißel, Martin and Harlaß, Carsten}, title = {Semi-parametric survival function estimators deduced from an identifying Volterra type integral equation}, series = {Journal of multivariate analysis}, journal = {Journal of multivariate analysis}, number = {147}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmva.2016.02.008}, pages = {273 -- 284}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Based on an identifying Volterra type integral equation for randomly right censored observations from a lifetime distribution function F, we solve the corresponding estimating equation by an explicit and implicit Euler scheme. While the first approach results in some known estimators, the second one produces new semi-parametric and pre-smoothed Kaplan-Meier estimators which are real distribution functions rather than sub-distribution functions as the former ones are. This property of the new estimators is particular useful if one wants to estimate the expected lifetime restricted to the support of the observation time. Specifically, we focus on estimation under the semi-parametric random censorship model (SRCM), that is, a random censorship model where the conditional expectation of the censoring indicator given the observation belongs to a parametric family. We show that some estimated linear functionals which are based on the new semi-parametric estimator are strong consistent, asymptotically normal, and efficient under SRCM. In a small simulation study, the performance of the new estimator is illustrated under moderate sample sizes. Finally, we apply the new estimator to a well-known real dataset.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MarinovaKerroumiLintermannetal.2016, author = {Marinova, V. and Kerroumi, I. and Lintermann, A. and G{\"o}bbert, J.H. and Moulinec, C. and Rible, S. and Fournier, Y. and Behbahani, Mehdi}, title = {Numerical Analysis of the FDA Centrifugal Blood Pump}, series = {NIC Symposium 2016}, booktitle = {NIC Symposium 2016}, isbn = {978-3-95806-109-5}, pages = {355 -- 364}, year = {2016}, language = {de} } @article{FrotscherMuanghongDursunetal.2016, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Muanghong, Danita and Dursun, G{\"o}zde and Goßmann, Matthias and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Sample-specific adaption of an improved electro-mechanical model of in vitro cardiac tissue}, series = {Journal of Biomechanics}, volume = {49}, journal = {Journal of Biomechanics}, number = {12}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0021-9290 (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbiomech.2016.01.039}, pages = {2428 -- 2435}, year = {2016}, abstract = {We present an electromechanically coupled computational model for the investigation of a thin cardiac tissue construct consisting of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived atrial, ventricular and sinoatrial cardiomyocytes. The mechanical and electrophysiological parts of the finite element model, as well as their coupling are explained in detail. The model is implemented in the open source finite element code Code_Aster and is employed for the simulation of a thin circular membrane deflected by a monolayer of autonomously beating, circular, thin cardiac tissue. Two cardio-active drugs, S-Bay K8644 and veratridine, are applied in experiments and simulations and are investigated with respect to their chronotropic effects on the tissue. These results demonstrate the potential of coupled micro- and macroscopic electromechanical models of cardiac tissue to be adapted to experimental results at the cellular level. Further model improvements are discussed taking into account experimentally measurable quantities that can easily be extracted from the obtained experimental results. The goal is to estimate the potential to adapt the presented model to sample specific cell cultures.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JungStaatMueller2016, author = {Jung, Alexander and Staat, Manfred and M{\"u}ller, Wolfram}, title = {Effect of wind on flight style optimisation in ski jumping}, series = {15th International Symposium on Computer Simulation in Biomechanics ; July 9th-11th 2015, Edinburgh, UK}, booktitle = {15th International Symposium on Computer Simulation in Biomechanics ; July 9th-11th 2015, Edinburgh, UK}, publisher = {The University of Edinburgh ; Loughborough University}, address = {Edinburgh}, pages = {53 -- 54}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @techreport{BhattaraiFrotscherDurongetal.2016, author = {Bhattarai, Aroj and Frotscher, Ralf and Durong, Minh Tu{\´a}n and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Schlussbericht zu BINGO.
