Surrogate-Based Modeling of Joint Contact Mechanics

Fregly 0602996该项目的主要目标是设计一个集成的研究和教育框架，用于关节（即，面-面）接触。PI和他的团队将开发新的替代建模方法，以允许快速动态模拟和优化具有多个关节接触的肌肉骨骼模型。该项目的教育和外联部分将包括从少数民族和女高中生到学术界和工业界研究人员的广泛受众。该项目将对肌肉骨骼生物力学研究产生重大影响，特别是在手术模拟和植入物设计方面，并可能在更多的临床实践中发挥作用。

Fregly0602996The main objective of the project is design an integrated research and educational framework for surrogate-based modeling of articular (i.e., surface-surface) contact in dynamic musculoskeletal models. The PI and his team will develop novel surrogate modeling approaches to allow rapid dynamic simulations and optimizations of musculoskeletal models with multiple articular contacts. The educational and outreach component of the project will include a broad audience ranging from minority and female high school students to researchers in academia and industry. The project would have a great impact on musculoskeltal biomechanics research, especially in surgical simulation and implant design, and possibly on more clinical practices.
