Temperature dependence of thermophysical properties of carbon/polyamide410 composite KU Leuven
In this study, the temperature dependence of the carbon/polyamide 410 composite's heat capacity, thermal expansion, density, and thermal conductivity was investigated. The results demonstrated that the specific heat capacity of the C/PA410 composite increases with temperature, with major transitions observed at the glass transition (Tg) and melting (Tm) temperatures. Due to the presence of fibers, the CTE values in the fiber direction of C/PA410 ...
Probabilistic planning for ligament-balanced TKA—Identification of critical ligament properties KU Leuven
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failures are often attributed to unbalanced knee ligament loading. The current study aims to develop a probabilistic planning process to optimize implant component positioning that achieves a ligament-balanced TKA. This planning process accounts for both subject-specific uncertainty, in terms of ligament material properties and attachment sites, and surgical precision related to the TKA process typically used in ...
Multilevel quasi-Monte Carlo for interval analysis in structural dynamics KU Leuven
Interval analysis has proven to provide robust bounds on the performance of a structure when only limited data is available to model the uncertainties of that structure. Interval analysis typically requires a global optimisation procedure for the propagation or vertex analysis for monotonic models. The computation time corresponding to this propagation increases with the number of interval dimensions. The authors recently introduced a multilevel ...
