Nucleus replacement technologies are a minimally invasive alternative to spinal fusion and total disc replacement that have the potential to reduce pain and restore motion for patients with degenerative disc disease. Finite element modeling can be used to determine the biomechanics associated with nucleus replacement technologies. The current ...
In this study, viability of several damage detection algorithms for health monitoring of joints in planar frame structures using vibration–based techniques is addressed. Planar frames are modelled in the finite element framework with two node beam elements having two degrees of freedom at each node. The joint damage is introduced ...
