Dear Coleagues
Please find enclosed the list of names and interests of some more Spine
Modelling people who contacted me after I included the first list in my
e-mail 'Spine Modelling and Engineering Design'. Thanks again.

RESPONDENTS AND THEIR INTERESTS:
Carl-Eric AUBIN
aubin@grbb.polymtl.ca
working on finite element modelling of the whole scoliotic
spine and rib cage. This model includes a refined representation
of the posterior part of the spine. The input geometry to the
model is personalized and parametrized using stereoradiographic
3D reconstructions and CT scans reconstructions. This project is
done in collaboration with the "Laboratoire de Biomecanique" of
the ENSAM (Paris).
-------------------------------
Barry Myers
bsm @occiput.egr.duke.edu
co-authored a book chapter which has a brief outline of some the
computational
models of the neck. This would mostly be usefull for the reference list.
The
Text is entitled Accidental Injury: Biomechanics and Prevention. Ed: A.
Nahum,
and J. Melvin, Springer Verlag, 1993.. The chapter is Biomechanical
Aspects of
Cervical Spine Trauma by J. McElhaney and I.
We currently use both rigid body and FEA models to characterize the
cervical spine
dynamics produced during our experimental studies on cervical impact
injury.

Jim Morrison
jmorriso@sfu.ca
presently involved in a major project on effects of whole
body vibration and shock on humans. As part of this study we have
been looking at spinal models and are considering adopting one or
building our own. I have in the past developed a muscle model, but
used it to analyse locomotion, and may try to incorporate this into a
spinal model. The main feature of the muscle model was that it was
based on physiological constraints rather than the usual mathematical
(optimization) approach. I would therefore be interested in staying
on your mailing list. We are also involved in developing a dose
response model for shocks, which will probably borrow from the
Palmgren-Minor Hypothesis for material fatigue. So far we have a lot
of fancy equations and ideas which we hope to formulate into a more
concrete model.

Othmar Gaber
Othmar.Gaber@uibk.ac.at
(The name was suggested by a subscriber colleague: Erich Brenner,
Erich.Brenner@uibk.ac.at)
is working on the dynamics of the human spine.
