Finite element analysis has been extensively utilized in the study of biomedical problems, and this comprehensive book aims to simulate various common medical issues using advanced finite element technologies. This book is divided into four main parts: bone, soft tissues, joints, and implants. Each part begins with an overview of the structure and function of the corresponding biological component, followed by detailed explanations of the advanced finite element features employed, including anisotropic nonlinear material, multidimensional interpolation, XFEM, fiber enhancement, UserHyper, porous media, wear, and crack growth fatigue analysis. The final section presents specific biomedical problems, such as abdominal aortic aneurysm, intervertebral disc, head impact, knee contact, and SMA cardiovascular stent. Additionally, all modeling files used in the book are provided in the appendixes.

This book is particularly valuable for graduate students and researchers in the biomedical field who engage in the simulation of biomedical problems. It also serves as a valuable resource for readers seeking to gain a deeper understanding of current advanced finite element technologies. By presenting detailed explanations and practical examples, this book provides a solid foundation for those interested in advancing their knowledge in this field.
