Abstract

This paper addresses evaluation and visualization ofstress and strain on soft biological tissues in contact.Given three-dimensional models of reconstructed organsfrom magnetic resonance images (MRI), we use anAnatomy-based kinematical model combined with a softtissues model to represent their shape and behavior.Then, we compute resulting distribution of stress andstrain on deforming surface when motion is simulated.The computed stress and strain are then effectivelyvisualized using an interactive animation framework.Experimental results are illustrated in the case of the hipjoint cartilage.
