Stress urinary incontinence is associated with involuntary urine leakage due to pathological movement of the pelvic organs resulting from lax suspension system, fasciae, and ligaments. This study compares the changes in the orientation and position of the female pelvic organs due to weakened fasciae, ligaments, and their combined laxity. A mixture theory weighted by respective volume fraction of elastin-collagen fibre compound (5\%), adipose tissue (85\%), and smooth muscle (5\%) is adopted to characterize the mechanical behaviour of the fascia. The load carrying response (other than the functional response to the pelvic organs) of each fascia component, pelvic organs, muscles, and ligaments are assumed to be isotropic, hyperelastic, and incompressible. Finite element simulations are conducted during Valsalva manoeuvre with weakened tissues modelled by reduced tissue stiffness. A significant dislocation of the urethrovesical junction is observed due to weakness of the fascia (13.89 mm) compared to the ligaments (5.47 mm). The dynamics of the pelvic floor observed in this study during Valsalva manoeuvre is associated with urethral-bladder hypermobility, greater levator plate angulation, and positive Q-tip test which are observed in incontinent females.}, language = {en} } @article{ColomboDriraFrotscheretal.2022, author = {Colombo, Daniele and Drira, Slah and Frotscher, Ralf and Staat, Manfred}, title = {An element-based formulation for ES-FEM and FS-FEM models for implementation in standard solid mechanics finite element codes for 2D and 3D static analysis}, series = {International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}, volume = {124}, journal = {International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Chichester}, issn = {1097-0207}, doi = {10.1002/nme.7126}, pages = {402 -- 433}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Edge-based and face-based smoothed finite element methods (ES-FEM and FS-FEM, respectively) are modified versions of the finite element method allowing to achieve more accurate results and to reduce sensitivity to mesh distortion, at least for linear elements.

However, their implementation in a standard finite element code is nontrivial because it requires heavy and extensive modifications to the code architecture. In this article, we present an element-based formulation of ES-FEM and FS-FEM methods allowing to implement the two methods in a standard finite element code with no modifications to its architecture. Moreover, the element-based formulation permits to easily manage any type of element, especially in 3D models where, to the best of the authors' knowledge, only tetrahedral elements are used in FS-FEM applications found in the literature. Shape functions for non-simplex 3D elements are proposed in order to apply FS-FEM to any standard finite element.}, language = {en} } @techreport{BlandfordDachwaldDigeletal.2015, author = {Blandford, Daniel and Dachwald, Bernd and Digel, Ilya and Espe, Clemens and Feldmann, Marco and Francke, Gero and Hiecke, Hannah and Kowalski, Julia and Lindner, Peter and Plescher, Engelbert and Sch{\"o}ngarth, Sarah}, title = {Enceladus Explorer : Schlussbericht — Version: 1.0}, publisher = {FH Aachen}, address = {Aachen}, doi = {10.2314/GBV:86319950X}, year = {2015}, language = {de} } @article{SavitskayaKistaubayevaIgnatovaetal.2019, author = {Savitskaya, I.S. and Kistaubayeva, A.S. and Ignatova, L.V. and Digel, Ilya}, title = {Antimicrobial and wound healing properties of a bacterial cellulose based material containing B. subtilis cells}, series = {Heliyon}, volume = {5}, journal = {Heliyon}, number = {10}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {2405-8440}, doi = {10.1016/j.heliyon.2019.e02592}, pages = {Artikelnummer e02592}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StaatTranPham2008, author = {Staat, Manfred and Tran, Thanh Ngoc and Pham, Phu Tinh}, title = {Limit and shakedown reliability analysis by nonlinear programming}, year = {2008}, abstract = {7th International Conference on Reliability of Materials and Structures (RELMAS 2008).

Reprint with corrections in red Introduction Analysis of advanced structures working under extreme heavy loading such as nuclear power plants and piping system should take into account the randomness of loading, geometrical and material parameters. The existing reliability are restricted mostly to the elastic working regime, e.g. allowable local stresses. Development of the limit and shakedown reliability-based analysis and design methods, exploiting potential of the shakedown working regime, is highly needed. In this paper the application of a new algorithm of probabilistic limit and shakedown analysis for shell structures is presented, in which the loading and strength of the material as well as the thickness of the shell are considered as random variables. The reliability analysis problems may be efficiently solved by using a system combining the available FE codes, a deterministic limit and shakedown analysis, and the First and Second Order Reliability Methods (FORM/SORM). Non-linear sensitivity analyses are obtained directly from the solution of the deterministic problem without extra computational costs.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} }
