Thesis title: Meshless Algorithms for Modelling and Simulation of Cutting of Soft Tissue for Surgical Simulation
Modelling and simulation of cutting of soft tissue remain one of the most challenging problems in surgical simulation due to the complexity of introducing cutting-induced discontinuities, the difficulty of modelling geometric and material nonlinearities and the need to achieve a high computation speed. I developed novel meshless algorithms to predict the responses of soft tissue during surgical cutting, including the deformation, reaction force and strain energy. The potential applications include non-rigid registration in image-guided surgery systems as well as surgical simulators for surgery training and the evaluation of medical equipment.
