Nous présentons une méthode efficace et automatique pour générer des maillages éléments finis surfaciques de haute qualité et de bonne fidélité géométrique au départ d’images médicales segmentées. Cette méthode est basée sur l’algorithme du Marching Tetrahedra auquel nous avons adjoint des techniques permettant d’ajuster la topologie et les positions nodales du maillage afin de renforcer la qualité des éléments tout en respectant la géométrie de l’objet présent dans les images. Le but ultime de l’approche est la modélisation du cerveau lors d’interventions neurochirurgicales. [less ▲]

We consider the problem of improving outcomes for neurosurgery patients by enhancing intraoperative navigation and guidance. Current navigation systems do not accurately account for intraoperative brain deformation. In this work, we focus on the brain shift deformation that occurs just after the opening of the skull and dura, before any cut and subsequent deformation has happened. We test several algorithms and parameters in order to evaluate their impact on the modeling of the brain shift. [less ▲]

An Efficient Numerical Model for the Numerical Simulation of Forming Processes

In this paper, the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formalism is used to compute the steady state of a 2D metal cutting operation and a 3D U-shaped cold roll forming process. Compared to the Lagrangian case ... [more ▼]

In this paper, the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formalism is used to compute the steady state of a 2D metal cutting operation and a 3D U-shaped cold roll forming process. Compared to the Lagrangian case, this method allows the use of a refined mesh near the tools, leading to an accurate representation of the chip formation (metal cutting) and the bending of the sheet (roll forming) with a limited computational time.

3D FEM/XFEM-based Biomechanical Brain Modeling for Preoperative Image Update

We present an end-to-end system for updating 3D preoperative images in the presence of brain shift and successive resections. The tissue discontinuities due to resections are handled via the eXtented Finite Element Method (XFEM), which has the appealing feature of handle arbitrarily-shaped discontinuity without any remeshing. The main novelty of the paper lies in the use of XFEM in 3D. [less ▲]

A General Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian Formulation for the Numerical Simulation of 3D forming Processes

In this paper, the arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formalism is used to compute the steady state of a 2D metal cutting operation and a 3D U-shaped cold roll forming process. Compared to the Lagrangian case, this method allows the use of a refined mesh near the tools, leading to an accurate representation of the chip formation (metal cutting) and the bending of the sheet (roll forming) with a limited computational time. The main problem of this kind of simulation is the rezoning of the nodes on the free surfaces of the sheet. A modified iterative isoparametric smoother is used to manage this geometrically complex and CPU expensive task. c 2007 American Institute of Physics. [less ▲]
