Summary
This course will provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for biomedical applications. The course will cover the design of medical devices and implants using 4D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (4DMRI) and flow data. Students will learn how to use advanced CAD software to create, analyze and optimize biomedical designs that take into account the complex anatomical features and flow patterns of the human body. The course will also cover topics related to material selection, biocompatibility, and regulatory requirements for MD. The BME313 module is based on Patient-Specific simulation of different anatomical parts to better characterize, understand and adapt the surgical treatment in relation to the patient. Examples of case studies are based on bone tissue (treatment with prosthetic elements for maxilofascial, hip prosthesis development) but also soft biological tissue with organ models (applications on the brain, heart or pelvic system) Chapter 1: Advanced Anatomical moddels using CAD Design Complex surface with CAD design for biomedical applications, Keywords: NURBS, Patient-specific models, Parametric models, automatisation using medical imaging. Chapter 2: Advanced Numerical simulation using FEA Topologial optimization of the implant into the Patient-Specific environnement Keywords: Topology optimization, Optimization algorithms, Material distribution, Design freedom, Stress minimization, Weight reduction, Stiffness maximization Chapter 3: Experimental test on biocompatible materials Anysotropy, Cyclic tests, Degradation, Resorbability and Mechanical behavior Chapter 4: Virtual twins and Surgery 4.0 Integration of the virtual twins into the real life, Training mannequins for surgeons Keywords: Additive manufacturing, process, evaluation and decision support, augmented reality with holograms, integration for future surgery Chapter 5: Application of CAD design principles to real-world biomedical problems Group projects and case studies (Project to create a heart phantom compatible with an MRI environment.)
