A computational neuromuscular model of the human upper airway with application to the study of obstructive sleep apnoea

Author: Pelteret, Jean-Paul Date: 2014 Numerous challenges are faced in investigations aimed at developing a better understanding of the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnoea. The anatomy of the tongue and other upper airway tissues, and the ability to model their behaviour, ... Read more
A patient-specific FSI model for vascular access in haemodialysis

Author: De Villiers, Anna Magdalena Date: 2017 This research forms part of an interdisciplinary project that aims to improve the understanding of haemodynamics and vascular mechanics in arteriovenous shunting. To achieve the high flow rates that enable patients with renal disease to receive ... Read more
Proper orthogonal decomposition with interpolation-based real-time modelling of the heart

Author: Rama, Ritesh Rao Date: 2017 Several studies have been carried out recently with the aim of achieving cardiac modelling of the whole heart for a full heartbeat. However, within the context of the Galerkin method, those simulations require high computational demand, ranging ... Read more
Three-field mixed finite element approximations for problems in elasticity

Author: Chama, Abdoulkadri Date: 2013 This thesis is concerned with three-field mixed methods for elasticity (often referred to as Hu-Washizu formulations) in which the variables are, for small-strain problems, the displacement, stress and strain. For problems in nonlinear ... Read more
Time integration schemes for piecewise linear plasticity

Author: Rencontre, LJ Date: 1991 The formulation of a generalized trapezoidal rule for the integration of the constitutive equations for a convex elastic-plastic solid is presented. This rule, which is based on an internal variable description, is consistent with a generalized ... Read more
