Announcements
ErdemirA 21:33, 24 October 2012 (EDT) We had some good discussions with current and prospective members of BWG in MSM 2012. Please check Biomechanics Working Group 2012 Discussion Page for details. Any feedback is very much appreciated.
ErdemirA 09:48, 13 January 2012 (EST) Our white paper on reporting of finite element analysis studies is in press. Print version can be accessed through http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2011.11.038.
ErdemirA 16:54, 16 November 2011 (EST) Our white paper on reporting of finite element analysis studies has been accepted for publication by the Journal of Biomechanics. This white paper was the product of discussions with the Working Group 6 - Tissue Mechanics (predecessor of BWG) of IMAG. It was discussed as part of a webinar, Media:Virtual_Discussion_Reporting_in_FEA.pdf, and also as part of 2010 MSM Consortitum meeting, Media:WP4-AE-MSM-2010.pdf. The pre-print of the initial submission can be found at Reporting in FEA/JB Edition.
ErdemirA 10:06, 7 November 2011 (EST) Co-leads presented a summary of 2011 BWG activities and a brief proposal on thematic webinar series at the 2011 MSM consortium meeting, see media:BWG_MSM2011.pdf. Please provide your feedback on the thematic webinar series so that we make it happen.
ErdemirA 20:31, 6 May 2011 (EDT) In June 2010, I attended the Biomechanics Priorities Conference in Delaware, which focused on identification of areas to focus on in biomechanics research. This was an interesting meeting, during which attendees worked collaboratively to write recommendations. Resulting documents and their scoring by the attendees were recently published at the conference site: http://www.udel.edu/dpc/index.html. The Biomechanics Working Group may find these recommendations (http://www.udel.edu/dpc/biomechanics/recommendations.html) and their ranking (http://www.udel.edu/dpc/biomechanics/results.html) interesting.

- More Information
ErdemirA 07:54, 5 April 2011 (EDT) media:BWG-manifesto.doc provides an idealized view of issues in multiscale computational biomechanics and how Biomechanics Working Group may help. The document is open to discussion.
We would like each working group member (and any other interested party)
- to review the document and identify three top priorities that they would like the Biomechanics Working Group to target initially.
- to work on those three top priorities as it relates to their discipline. Throw out ideas, share information, etc., even small levels of effort count when accumulated.
Send your feedback to Ahmet, erdemira@ccf.org, or Jay, jay.humphrey@yale.edu, or even better, edit the wiki.
ErdemirA 10:15, 6 December 2010 (EST) The Working Group 6 has been morphed into the Biomechanics Working Group. Please send an e-mail to me (erdemira@ccf.org) or Jay Humphrey (jay.humphrey@yale.edu) to become a member.
Working Group Leads
Goals and Objectives
Through interactions within members and with other working groups, the goals of the Biomechanics Working Group are
- to establish a cross-discipline discussion platform for multiscale modeling and analysis issues in the general area of biomechanics
- to identify computational infrastructure needs for multiscale biomechanical simulations
- to establish pathways for experimental data and validation to support multiscale modeling and simulation in biomechanics
- to increase awareness to the role of multiscale analysis in biomechanics and simulation-based medicine
- to promote the role of dissemination to accelerate multiscale analysis in biomechanics
Recent Presentation
Friday September 7, 2012 at 1:00pm EDT
- Probabilistic Analysis in Biomechanics
- Dr. P. Laz
- Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver
- http://www.du.edu/biomechanics
- Many sources of variability are inherently present in biomechanics. Intersubject variability includes differences in the geometry and mechanical properties of anatomical structures, as well as in loading and joint mechanics. When considering orthopaedic implants, alignment of the components also contains significant variability. Probabilistic analysis provides a framework to assess the impact of these sources of variability on performance measures. Specifically, these techniques quantify a distribution or bounds of performance and identify the most important parameters and or combinations of parameters that influence performance.
- This webinar will provide an overview of probabilistic modeling techniques and highlight their use in a series of clinical and biomechanical applications: effects of implant alignment variability on joint mechanics, statistical shape modeling to characterize intersubject variability and perform population-based evaluations, and relationships between shape and function in the natural knee. An improved understanding of the role of variability can provide insight into normal and pathologic joint mechanics and aid in the design of implants that are robust to patient and alignment variability.

History
The Biomechanics Working Group has started in November 2010 following working group related discussions at the 2010 MSM CONSORTIUM MEETING. Founding co-leads of the working group were Jay Humphrey of Yale University and Ahmet Erdemir of Cleveland Clinic. The working group inherited the Working Group 6 - Tissue Mechanics, which was started by Trent Guess of University of Missouri, Kansas City.
