Models & Simulation
Microscopic
Rheology – Study of the flow of matter
* hemorheology
– optimal hematocrit in vertebrates (Stark & Schuster, 2012)
– additional optimality criteria (Schuster & Stark, 2014)
– Visualization of blood flow
Macroscopic
Biomechanical characteristics of muscles
* force measurements (Stark & Schilling, 2010)
* MB simulations with OpenSIM
– see Dog
* FE simulations with Ansys or FEBio
– Contraction & Material models
– evaluation of displacement, stress & strain with cloud2
– see Human back
