2018 SUMMER RESEARCH 4 JUNE 2018
Summer Research Goals § Introduction to lumbar spine and scientific literature § Clinical issues § Biomechanics § Introduction to computational biomechanics § Abaqus for FEA § Sensitivity analysis § Detailed examination of lumbar spine biomechanics § Functional Spinal Unit (FSU) model in Abaqus § What is sensitivity of system to material / structural model parameters?
How to Read a Journal Paper “We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge. ” John Naisbitt § DON’T read in a linear fashion, beginning to end! Be strategic! 1. 2. 3. 4. SKIM: who/where, abstract, headings, purpose, results figures, conclusions RE-READ: critically, attention to details, make note of questions INTERPRET: logical? , new hypotheses, limitations, future research SUMMARIZE: take notes, use a template
Computational Biomechanics § Install Abaqus FEA software § Abaqus/CAE online tutorial § https: //academy. 3 ds. com/en/learn/introduction-to-abaqus-cae-r § Abaqus teaching license server: 27001@emblazon. mines. edu § During CAE installation, Flex. LM, only enter first server name
Lumbar Spine Biomechanics § FSU model to be provided by next week § Sensitivity analysis to be discussed later § What is sensitivity of system to material / structural model parameters? FSU Model
Schedule & Next Steps § Literature review as a group § Oxland – Friday 8 Jun § Zander – Mon 11 Jun § “How to Read” and Bogduk available for reference § FSU model coming soon § Details of sensitivity analysis next week
