Abstract In the past few decades, although traditional computational methods such as finite element have been successfully used in many scientific and engineering fields, they still face several challenging problems such as expensive computational cost, low computational efficiency, and difficulty in mesh generation in the numerical simulation of wave propagation under infinite domain, large-scale-ratio structures, engineering inverse problems and moving boundary problems. This paper introduces a class of collocation discretization techniques based on physical-informed kernel function (PIKF) to efficiently solve the above-mentioned problems. The key issue in the physical-informed kernel function collocation methods (PIKFCMs) is to construct the related basis functions,… More >

Abstract The conventional boundary element method (BEM) uses internal cells for the domain integralsCwhen solving nonlinear problems or problems with domain effects. This paper is concerned with conversion of the domain integral into boundary ones and some non-integral terms in a three-dimensional BIEM, which does not require the use of internal cells. This method uses arbitrary internal points instead of internal cells. The method is based on a three-dimensional interpolation method in this paper by using a polyharmonic function with volume distribution. In view of this interpolation method, the three-dimensional numerical integration is replaced by boundary ones and preceding calculation of… More >

Abstract Puncture is a common operation in surgery, which involves all kinds of tissue materials with different geometry and mechanical properties. As a new cross-disciplinary research area, Virtual Surgery (VS) makes simulation of soft tissue in puncture operation possible in virtual environment. In this paper, we introduce a VS-based puncture system composed by three-layer soft tissue, simulated with spherical harmonic function (SHF), which is covered with a force mesh, constructed by mass spring model (MSM). The two models are combined together with a parameter of SHF named surface radius, which provides MSM with real-time deformation data needed in force calculation. Meanwhile,… More >
