Geometrical Modelling Effects on FEA of Colorectal Surgery
The research reported in this paper applies an explicit non-linear FEA solver to
simulate the interaction between a clamp and a hyper-elastic material that aims to
mimic the biological tissue of the colon. More in detail, the paper provides new results
as a continuation of a previous works aimed at the evaluation of this solver to manage
contact and dynamic loading on complex, multiple shapes. Results concern with the
evaluation of the contact force during clamping, thus to the assessment of the forcefeedback.
