Aortic dissection is a severe clinical condition that demands a thorough understanding of the interactions between the true and false lumens. In this study, numerical simulations were performed for two patients, generating two preoperative and two postoperative models. The analyses were carried out using the PAKSF solver, a specialized tool for flu...

Mass transport is a fundamental process in living organisms, responsible for the delivery of oxygen, nutrients, and drugs from blood vessels to tissues, as well as the removal of waste products back to the vascular and lymphatic systems. This exchange occurs across various biological barriers, including blood vessel walls and cellular membranes, an...

The concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model is one of the most popular constitutive models implemented into various Finite Element Method software. The application to the real structures is documented in the literature, but still there are some doubts about the response in combination with the various finite elements. Simple benchmark examples simu...

The interaction between the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is crucial in multiphysics simulations of granular–structure systems, impacts, and material behavior. This paper presents a penalty-based contact algorithm with Coulomb friction for FEM–SPH coupling. The method accounts for static and dynam...

Huxley-type muscle models offer a physiologically grounded description of cardiac contraction but remain computationally prohibitive for large-scale, multi-scale simulations. This article reviews surrogate modeling strategies that alleviate these costs for ventricular biomechanics, with emphasis on data-driven (RNN/TCN/GRU) and physics-informed (PI...

This paper aims at the development and implementation of an algorithm for the treatment of damage and fracture in smooth particle hydrodynamic (SPH) method, where free surface, crack opening, including its propagation and branching is modelled by weakening the interparticle interactions combined with the visibility criterion. The model is consisten...

The advancement of technology in the field of human health plays a significant and positive role, particularly in the realm of hearing. In this study, we propose a novel approach for middle ear prostheses. We constructed a finite element (FE) model of the ear with a pure titanium TORP prosthesis, which we validated using experimental results. Subse...

Over the last few decades, cardiovascular stents have emerged as crucial biomedical devices. Stents undergo cyclic physiological loading, which can lead to progressive accumulation of structural damage over time eventually resulting in a stent fracture. Considering the critical role of stents, it is necessary to assess their fatigue endurance and p...
