Toward foundation-model-assisted biomechanical simulation of the knee joint: Current evidence, limitations, and future directions

Subject-specific finite element analysis (FEA) can estimate tissue-level stress, strain, contact pressure, and load transfer in the knee, but building and solving a new model for each anatomy, activity, or treatment scenario remains time-consuming. This narrative review examines how knee biomechanical simulation has pr...

Finite Element Modeling Techniques for Mechanically Fastened Joints in Aerospace Structures: A Review

Mechanically fastened joints remain essential in aerospace structures because they provide reliable, inspectable, and certification-mature load paths. Accurate prediction of fastener load transfer and local stress distribution is fundamental to structural sizing, fatigue and damage-tolerance assessment, and substantiat...

Integration of a smooth mesh-based contact pressure model into tracking and predictive simulations

Musculoskeletal simulations are widely used to estimate joint loading, yet most musculoskeletal models estimate knee contact forces as resultant forces or as normal medial and lateral contact forces, without resolving pressure distributions across the articular surfaces. This paper presents a smoothed mesh-based knee c...

Embedding wear assessment in musculoskeletal simulation: A proof-of-concept application to total hip arthroplasty

Predicting wear in artificial joints requires integrating joint dynamics, contact mechanics and progressive surface evolution, yet these processes are often treated separately. In total hip arthroplasty (THA), finite-element approaches remain the reference standard, but they are computationally demanding and usually re...

Data-Driven Topology Allocation in Hybrid Finite Element Discretization of Singular Thermoelastic Problems

Finite element accuracy for singular problems depends on both mesh resolution and the spatial distribution of approximation capacity. A fixed-budget topology-allocation strategy is developed for hybrid T3–Q4 discretization of a thermoelastic problem on an L-shaped domain with a re-entrant corner. The strategy addresses...
