Abstract:
We propose the time-dependent generalization of an "ordinary" autonomous human biomechanics, in which total mechanical + biochemical energy is not conserved. We introduce a general framework for time-dependent biomechanics in terms of jet manifolds derived from the extended musculo-skeletal configuration manifold. The corresponding Riemannian geometrical evolution follows the Ricci flow diffusion. In particular, we show that the exponential-like decay of total biomechanical energy (due to exhaustion of biochemical resources) is closely related to the Ricci flow on the biomechanical configuration manifold.

Abstract:
Considerable advances have been made to determine the failure biomechanical properties of the human thoracic spinal column and its components. Except for a few fundamental studies, there is a paucity of such data for the costovertebral elements. The present study was designed to determine the biomechanics of the human thoracic spine ribs from a large population. Seventh and eighth ribs bilaterally were tested from 30 human cadavers using the principles of three-point bending techniques to failure. Biomechanical test parameters included the cross-sectional area (core, marrow, and total), moment of inertia, failure load, deflection, and the Young’s elastic modulus. The strength-related results indicated no specific bias with respect to anatomical level and hemisphere (right or left), although the geometry-related variables demonstrated statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the seventh and the eighth ribs. This study offers basic biomechanical information on the ultimate failure and geometric characteristics of the human thoracic spine ribs.

Abstract:
Aging process becomes a miserable phase of lifespan of various individuals. Gerontology and Geriatrics exclusively deal with researching complex human ailments pertinent to old age in order to overcome the challenges posed by several irreversible physiological changes occurring with aging. Inevitably, homeostasis declines and massive allostasis gets organized during aging to destroy the functional independence and survival potential. Controlling the rate of aging process is the only possible self-regulating strategy available to each individual to enjoy Morbidity-Attenuated Life Years (MALYs) but maintaining an optimal fitness competence to travel along the healthy aging trajectory is not effortlessly feasible regardless of the socioeconomic conditions. Fitness evaluations on different age groups enhances the understanding that the aging process might be a premature event among several individuals at an early age itself due to multifactorial reasons, and the biomechanical constraints displayed by such individuals expose the probable wide spectrum of postural and movement dysfunctions or disabilities of unhealthy older adults. Many such health-ruining erroneous postures and movements remain asymptomatic perilously, which when addressed during appropriate stage in life, could repair the impaired physical efficiency to sustain the abilities to counteract the effects of gravitational force on the body. The importance of early detection and rectification of such peculiar biomechanical dysfunctions should become an integral part of public health prophylaxis. The repertoire of biomechanical dysfunctions of premature unhealthy aging needs to be strongly merged with gerontology to strengthen the pursuits to retard unsuccessful aging and accomplish successful aging.

Abstract:
Describing body size (anthropometry) and physical properties of the body (biomechanics) are areas of interest both in research and in application. The human factors engineer needs anthropometric and biomechanical information primarily for designing the operator/equipment interface. Available information is piecemeal, incomplete, and often not compatible since researched and provided in various scientific disciplines. However, even the researcher is hindered by the “scatter” of data, measuring techniques, and research objectives. Hence, an effort to standardize in the areas of anthropometry and biomechanics would, if done properly, help both scientists and engineers.

Abstract:
The mechanics, morphometry, and geometry of our joints, segments, and muscles are fundamental biomechanical properties intrinsic to human neural control. The goal of our study was to investigate whether the biomechanical actions of individual neck muscles predict their neural control. Specifically, we compared the moment direction and variability produced by electrical stimulation of a neck muscle (biomechanics) to the preferred activation direction and variability (neural control). Subjects sat upright with their head fixed to a six-axis load cell and their torso restrained. Indwelling wire electrodes were placed into the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), splenius capitis (SPL), and semispinalis capitis (SSC) muscles. The electrically stimulated direction was defined as the moment direction produced when a current (2–19 mA) was passed through each muscle’s electrodes. Preferred activation direction was defined as the vector sum of the spatial tuning curve built from root mean squared electromyogram when subjects produced isometric moments at 7.5% and 15% of their maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) in 26 three-dimensional directions. The spatial tuning curves at 15% MVC were well defined (unimodal, P < 0.05), and their preferred directions were 23°, 39°, and 21° different from their electrically stimulated directions for the SCM, SPL, and SSC, respectively ( P < 0.05). Intrasubject variability was smaller in electrically stimulated moment directions compared with voluntary preferred directions, and intrasubject variability decreased with increased activation levels. Our findings show that the neural control of neck muscles is not based solely on optimizing individual muscle biomechanics but, as activation increases, biomechanical constraints in part dictate the activation of synergistic neck muscles. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Biomechanics are an intrinsic part of human neural control. In this study, we found that the biomechanics of individual neck muscles cannot fully predict their neural control. Consequently, physiologically based computational neck muscle controllers cannot calculate muscle activation schemes based on the isolated biomechanics of muscles. Furthermore, by measuring biomechanics we showed that the intrasubject variability of the neural control was lower for electrical vs. voluntary activation of the neck muscles.

Abstract:
We propose the following complexity conjecture: in a combined biomechanical system, where the action of Newtonian laws cannot be neglected, it is the mechanical part that determines the lower limit of complexity of the combined system, commonly defined as the number of mechanical degrees of freedom. The biological part of such a system, being "more intelligent", naturally serves as a "controller" for the "nonintelligent" mechanical "plant". Although, in some special cases, the behavior of the combined system might have a "simple" output, a realistic internal state space analysis shows that the total system complexity represents either the superposition, or a kind of "macroscopic entanglement" of the two partial complexities. Neither "mutual canceling" nor "averaging" of the mechanical degrees of freedom generally occurs in such a biomechanical system. The combined system has both dynamical and control complexities. The "realistic" computational model of such a system also has its own computational complexity. We demonstrate the validity of the above conjecture using the example of the physiologically realistic computer model. We further argue that human motion is the simplest well-defined example of a general human behavior, and discuss issues of simplicity versus predictability/controllability in complex systems. Further, we discuss self-assembly in relation to conditioned training in human/humanoid motion. It is argued that there is a significant difference in the observational resolution of human motion while one is watching "subtle" movements of a human hands playing a piano versus "coarse" movements of a human crowd at a football stadium from an orbital satellite. Techniques such as cellular automata can model the coarse crowd motion, but not the subtle hierarchical neural control of the dynamics of human hands playing a piano. Therefore, we propose the observational resolution as a new measure of biomechanical complexity. Finally, there is a possible route to apparent simplicity in biomechanics, in the form of oscillatory synchronization, both external (kinematical) and internal (control).

The human fetal membrane, namely the chorioamnion, is the structural soft tissue retaining the amniotic fluid and the fetus during pregnancy. Its biomechanical integrity is crucial for maintaining a healthy gestation and a successful delivery. The premature rupture of the fetal membrane (PROM) can result in serious perinatal complications. Despite extensive research in this field, the mechanical and biochemical processes governing the membrane deformation and failure remain poorly understood. The aim of this study is to characterize the mechanical behavior of the chorioamnionic tissue along with its biochemical properties, through mechanical testing and biochemical analyses. In order to accomplish this goal, specific mechanical and biochemical testing protocols were developed. In vitro mechanical testing was performed on samples from seven patients under different uniaxial and biaxial loading conditions. Significant relaxation was noted under uniaxial loading while very limited creep was observed under biaxial loading. Biochemical measurements such as collagen and sulfated glycosaminoglycan contents were also obtained. In addition, a microstructurally based constitutive model for the fetal membrane is proposed.
(cont.) The model allows for nonlinear hyperelastic response at large deformation. We also propose a framework to capture the time-dependent response of the tissue. The model was implemented in a finite element formulation to allow three-dimensional simulations of membrane deformation.

Abstract:
This thesis reports on work undertaken to study the biomechanics of the human foot during normal daily activity, particularly walking and standing. A literature review is presented on topics related to the subject and several of the areas demanding further investigation are highlighted. Three lines of enquiry were pursued to consider the kinematics, kinetics, passive structural properties and muscle activity associated with the foot. A dynamic pedobarograph with a synchronised video system was used to measure the forces and their distribution under the foot (based on seven marked areas) and six kinematic angles of the foot and lower leg. Sixty-one healthy subjects were assessed and the results are presented. Kinetic and kinematic parameters were found to be consistent and smooth for the test population. Several of the events of the gait cycle were found to be temporally different from values widely reported. In the second investigation, four cadaveric foot specimens were tested dynamically to determine the role of the plantar structures during loading in various positions. A method of sequential dissection was used and the results support many of the theories regarding ligament function. Tests on the effect of three extrinsic muscles on the foot load distribution also support previous studies while a preliminary investigation of two pathological feet partially clarifies the biomechanical effects of a hallux valgus deformity. Eight of the foot extrinsic and intrinsic muscles were assessed for the final investigation. Using electromyographic (EMG) recording techniques on six healthy subjects, the muscle EMG activity was quantified during walking a) barefoot, b) with a moulded heel plate, and c) with soft shoes. The results for the extrinsic muscles generally agree with previous work, while the intrinsic muscle activity is more variable. The intrinsic muscles were more active when shoes were worn and displayed unusual fatigue patterns.

Abstract:
The knee joint is an integral component of the musculoskeletal system, aiding the absorption and transition of weight bearing forces. It is often subjected to injury or disease, with osteoarthritis (OA) being the most prevalent disease, particularly amongst the elderly population. It is now understood that OA is a whole-joint disease affecting the entire osteochondral unit at a molecular and cellular level; however to what extent this effects material properties is mostly unexplored. This thesis firstly aimed to comprehensively review the current knowledge of whole human knee joint material properties in young versus old and healthy versus OA samples, and their subsequent macro-scale application into existing finite element (FE) models. Results indicated unambiguous gaps in the literature for material properties, particularly evident in the aged and OA samples. Consequently, existing human knee FE models apply material properties from a variety of animal and human cohorts, obtained from differing anatomical localities and diverse cadaver demographics, reducing the biological accuracy of resultant mechanical behaviour predicted from such models. Secondly, this thesis aimed to determine the effects of multiple freeze-thaw cycles on cartilage material properties in an attempt to justify a reliable storage and perseveration technique for future work. Results showed that cartilage can undergo up to three freeze-thaw cycles without statistically compromising the integrity of samples. Although data should be interpreted and subsequently applied to future research with consideration in relation to its particular application due to high biological variability across samples. Finally, this thesis aimed to collect and analyse new primary material property data of spatially distributed cartilage, subchondral bone and trabecular bone by nanoindentation techniques, and the four primary knee joint ligaments by tensile testing. Samples were obtained from cadaveric specimens with a wide age range (31-88 years) and OA grade (International Cartilage Repair Society grades 0-4) to provide varying demographics that were evidently missing from the literature. Cartilage shear storage and loss modulus and subchondral bone elastic modulus significantly decreased with increasing age and grade of OA. Furthermore, a change in cartilage shear storage and loss modulus was correlated with a change in subchondral bone elastic modulus in site-matched samples. Trabecular bone elastic modulus was not correlated with age or OA. Results also showed preferential regional development of OA in the medial knee compartment and a decrease in cartilage shear storage modulus at site-specific locations. Additionally, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) material properties had correlations with age, and linear and failure mechanics showed some correlations with increasing OA grade. The medical collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) failure mechanics also showed some correlated with an increase in age and OA grade. This thesis has provided, for the first time, whole-joint multiple tissue material properties from the same cadavers during ageing and disease, concluding that both age and OA affect the material properties of the entire osteochondral unit. Such valuable data can be applied to future FE modelling of the human knee to produce more accurate predication of mechanical behaviour. Current data can also be applied therapeutically, including the use of biomimetic materials, joint replacement and pharmacological interventions.

The human tongue is composed mainly of skeletal-muscle tissue, and has a complex architecture. Its anatomy is characterised by interweaving, yet distinct muscle groups. It is a significant contributor to the phenomenon of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is a pathological condition defined as the partial or complete closing of any part of the human upper airway (HUA) during sleep. OSA syndrome affects a significant portion of the population. Patients with OSA syndrome experience various respiratory problems, an increase in the risk of heart disease, a significant decrease in productivity, and an increase in motor-vehicle accidents [58]. The aim of this work is to report on a constitutive model for the human tongue, and to demonstrate its use in computational simulations for OSA. A realistic model of the constitution of the tongue and computational simulations are also important in areas such as linguistics and speech therapy [44]. The detailed anatomical features of the tongue have been captured using data from the Visible Human Project (VHP) [102]. The geometry of the tongue, and each muscle group of the tongue, are visually identified, and its geometry captured using Mimics [100]. Various image processing tools available in Mimics, such as image segmentation, region-growing and volume generation were used to form the three-dimensional model of the tongue geometry. Muscle fibre orientations were extracted from the same dataset, also using Mimics.The muscle model presented here is based on Hill’s three-element model for representation of the constituent parts of muscle fibres. This Hill-type muscle model also draws from recent work in muscle modelling, by Martins [88]. The model is implemented in an Abaqus user element (UEL) subroutine [24]. The transversely isotropic behaviour of the muscle tissue is accounted for, as well as the influence of muscle activation. The mechanics of the model is limited to static, small-strain, anisotropic, linear-elastic behaviour, and the governing equations are suitably linearized. The body position of the patient during an apneic episode is accounted for in the simulations, as well as the effect of gravity. The focus of this study is on tongue muscle behaviour under gravitational loading, simulating a simplified OSA event. Future models will incorporate airway pressure as well. The behaviour of the model is illustrated in a number of benchmark tests, and computational examples.

Abstract:
Previous analyses of mandibular biomechanics have incorporated a wide variety of approaches and variables in attempts at describing the relationships between the forces generated by the muscle and the forces of resistance at the dentition and temporomandibular joints. The most difficult element to determine in man has been the role of the joint forces which require indirect analyses. A critical literature review points out the problems associated with previous analyses of mandibular mechanics and predictions of joint loading and the need for the incorporation of all relevant anatomical and physiological parameters in order to realistically quantify these relationships. A computerized mathematical model of human mandibular biomechanics for static functions is presented which allows the determination of forces occurring at the dentition and the joints due to the individual muscle force contributions. Utilizing the principles of static equilibrium the model provides for the determination of these forces for any individual for whom the necessary input parameters have been derived. Anatomically, this model requires the designation of the three dimensional coordinates of the origin and insertion points of nine pairs of masticatory muscles, any position of tooth contact, and the temporomandibular joint positions. Determination of the forces generated by the individual muscle groups, and therefore the overall muscle force resultant acting on the system, is given by the product of a number of physiological parameters. These include the physiological cross-section, the intrinsic force per unit of cross-sectional area, and the relative activation level of each muscle for the specific static function. Also required is the three dimensional orientation of tooth resistance force at the designated position of tooth contact, as well as that of the left joint force in the frontal plane. This information reduces the variables in the equilibrium equations to a determinate number which has a single unique solution for each of the tooth and two joint resistance forces. The magnitudes as well as three dimensional orientations of the resultant vectors of the muscles, the tooth resistance force and the two temporomandibular joints are thereby determined mathematically. Both bilaterally symmetrical and unilateral clenching functions as well as three intervals near the intercuspal position of chewing were tested with this model using data derived from literature sources from real subjects. This data was incorporated into a hypothetical average individual data file. Using this data, derivation of the magnitudes and orientations of muscle and tooth forces were made providing predictions as to the nature of temporomandibular joint loading for this individual. The extent of muscle force generated for static maximal clenching tasks modeled was a maximum of 1000 to 1200 N during intercuspal clenching. The orientation of muscle force with respect to the occlusal plane varied from about 90 degrees in the lateral plane, for more posterior molar functions, to 64 degrees for incisal functions. Maximal tooth resistance forces were around 500 to 600 N at the molars versus only 130 to 140 N at the incisors. Unilateral functions showed the working side joint to be more heavily loaded than the balancing side especially for a more posterior function (i.e. molar). Less muscle and therefore tooth force was produced unilaterally but with the benefit of even less residual joint force. Thus, unilateral functions appear to be much more efficient in terms of the distribution of forces between the dentition and joints. Variation in tooth orientation produced variations in both the orientation and magnitudes of the joint forces exhibiting a functional interrelationship of these forces. Based on the analysis in general, the joints were predicted to be capable of resisting up to 300 N of force per side directed anterosuperiorly at about 60 to 100 degrees in the lateral plane. More divergent forces at the joints were found to be of substantially lower magnitude in the lateral and frontal planes. These findings are in good agreement with other studies.

Abstract:
Computational modeling is an important tool for studying the structure and function of human anatomy in biomedicine. In this thesis, a dynamic, anatomically accurate model of the human mandibular and laryngeal structures is presented. The complexities of the infra-mandibular anatomy are discussed along with previous approaches to jaw modeling and a detailed description of dynamic modeling techniques. Forward dynamic simulations, created with the model's comprehensive user-interface, are reported that show consistency with previously published jaw modeling literature. Laryngeal motion during swallowing was simulated and shows plausible upward displacement consistent with published recordings. Simulation of unilateral chewing was also performed with the model to study mastication mechanics. A novel open-source modeling platform, ArtiSynth, is described in the context of its use and extension in the construction and simulation of the biomechanical jaw and laryngeal model.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis addresses the reliability of Goldmann-type applanation tonometers (GAT). It deals with the investigation of the relation between predicted intraocular pressure, IOPG and true pressure, IOPT. The problem of the accuracy of GAT readings has acquired special importance over the last two decades as new types of surgical procedures to correct vision disorders are being explored and gain universal acceptance. The overall aim of the present study is to assess the effects of individual variations in the corneal central thickness (CCT), material properties of the involved tissues and paracentral applanation on the accuracy of IOPG. Two finite element models have been constructed: a two-dimensional axisymmetric model of the cornea and a three-dimensional model of the whole corneoscleral envelope. Various material descriptions were adopted for the cornea in 2D, whereas the 3D model accounted for collagen microstructure and represented a hyperelastic ber reinforced material. Nonlinear analyses were carried out using the commercial general-purpose finite element software ABAQUS. An extensive literature survey and consultations with ophthalmologists and clinicians were the platform for establishing relevant modelling procedures. The results reveal a clear association between all considered parameters and measured IOPG. The effect of assumed CCT is highly dependent on the corneal material properties. Material model alone has a profound effect on predicted IOPG. Variations in tonometer tip application produce clinically signi cant errors to IOPG measurements. Potential effects of corneal stiffness and paracentral applanation on GAT readings are larger than the impact of CCT. The behaviour of the models is broadly in agreement with published observations. The proposed procedures can be a useful tools for suggesting the magnitudes of corrections for corneal biomechanics and possible human errors. The present modelling exercise has an ability to reproduce the behaviour of human cornea and trace it under IOP and GAT, providing potentially useful information on the distribution of stresses and strains. Some recommendations can be drawn in pursuit of the clinical imperatives of ophthalmologists.

Abstract:
Maximum speed is an important parameter for sprinting humans, particularly in athletic competitions. While the biomechanics of sprinting have been well-studied [1–3], our understanding of biomechanical limits to maximum speed is still in its infancy. Previous studies have suggested a speed-limiting role for the force-velocity relationship of skeletal muscle [2], but these theories are difficult to verify experimentally due to the difficulty in observing and manipulating human muscle dynamics in vivo.

Abstract:
The primary function of the lens of the eye, termed accommodation, is to precisely focus light onto the retina by changing curvature and corresponding refractive power. Investigators have long sought to understand the mechanism of accommodation in terms of interactions of the constituent tissues, which recently has been aided by biomechanical modeling. Such models depend heavily on accurate measurements of tissue mechanical properties and seek to predict stresses and strains. A critical component of the accommodative apparatus is the lens capsule, a bag-like membrane that encapsulates the lens nucleus and cortex and mediates tractions imposed onto this structure by the ciliary body. In addition to this physiologic process during normalcy, the lens capsule also plays a fundamental role in cataract surgery; a procedure that involves three basic steps: a quarter of the anterior lens capsule is removed via the introduction of a continuous circular capsulorhexis (CCC), the lens is broken up and suctioned out, and an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is placed within the remnant capsular bag. Although novel IOL designs have decreased post-surgical complications, they currently lack the important feature of accommodation. Therefore, mechanical analysis of the lens capsule will allow for an understanding of its interaction with an implant that may further assist in the design of future accommodating IOLs (AIOLs). Here, we report a novel experimental approach to study in situ the regional, multiaxial mechanical behavior of both normal and diabetic human anterior lens capsules. Furthermore, we use these data to calculate material parameters in a nonlinear stress-strain relation via a custom sub-domain inverse finite element method (FEM). These parameters are then used to predict capsular stresses in response to imposed loads using a forward FEM model.
