- Previous
- Applications of cohesive zone models to the scalpel cutting process to model surgical cutting from a fracture mechanics approach.
- Improvement of nonlinear constitutive models base on in-vivo experimentation of porcine liver through the use of a custom designed test fixture for probing of live samples.
- Developed a reality-based, haptics enabled simulator for probing of ex-vivo porcine liver utilizing experimentally determined nonlinear constitutive models based on preprocessing techniques.
- Generated nonlinear constitutive models to define general tool-tissue loading of porcine liver through the combination of data obtained via compression, tension and pure shear tests on ex-vivo porcine liver.
- Designed and manufactured a hydraulically powered, teleoperated needle driver robot with haptic feedback capable of insertion un continuous magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
