The effective use of computational modeling and simulation tools early in the design process
is arguably becoming a gold standard for modern product development. Compared to many …

A review of human walking modeling and simulation is presented. This review focuses on
physics-based human walking simulations in the robotics and biomechanics literature. The …

A new methodology is introduced in this work to simulate normal walking using a spatial
digital human model. The proposed methodology is based on an optimization formulation …

Predictive dynamics is a novel approach for simulating human motion. It avoids direct
integration of differential-algebraic equations in order to create the resulting simulations for …

This paper presents a multiobjective optimization (MOO) approach to predicting dynamic
lifting for a three-dimensional, highly redundant digital human model with 55 degrees of …

An optimization-based formulation and solution method are presented to predict asymmetric
human gait for a large-scale skeletal model. Predictive dynamics approach is used in which …

Reliability sensitivity analysis is used to find the rate of change in the probability of failure (or
reliability) due to the changes in distribution parameters such as the means and standard …

This paper presents the energy absorption properties of hexagonal honeycomb structures of
varying cellular geometries under high speed in-plane crushing. While the crushing …

Objective: In this study, a novel hybrid predictive musculoskeletal model is proposed which
has both motion prediction and muscular dynamics assessment capabilities. Methods: First …

Manual material handling is common in daily life and is the main cause of lower back pain.
Therefore, it is critical to establish a lifting limit for workers. However, it is difficult to obtain …
