  • More Spine Modelling

    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.
