THE SENSITIVITY OF BIOLOGICAL FINITE ELEMENT MODELS TO THE RESOLUTION OF SURFACE GEOMETRY: A CASE STUDY OF CROCODILIAN CRANIA

The sensitivity of biological finite element models to the resolution of surface geometry: a case study of crocodilian crania

The reliability of finite element analysis (FEA) in biomechanical investigations depends upon understanding the influence of model assumptions.In producing finite element models, surface mesh resolution is influenced by the resolution of input geometry, and influences the resolution of the ensuing solid mesh used for numerical analysis.Despite a la

Consensus techniques

A core activity of decentralising internet projects has been participation, and with it the democratising potential of governing through consensus.This encounter between democratic ideals on one side and its integration into socio-technical projects on the other has had significant consequences for the purposes and meanings attached to consensus as
