Pioneering workshop on the resilience of complex engineering systems hosted at the University of Sheffield
On 18 January 2018, EPSRC’s MultiSim Frontier Engineering Award and the ENCORE network hosted a joint workshop that explored new ideas on how to use multi-scale modelling in complex engineering systems to improve resilience and function. The workshop was attended by over 50 leading engineers, statisticians, clinicians and early career researchers.

Precision of Digital Volume Correlation Approaches for Strain Analysis in Bone Imaged with Micro-Computed Tomography at Different Dimensional Levels
University of Sheffield's researchers are improving the assessment of deformation in bone tissue using "Digital Volume Correlation" (DVC) approach that is considered a state-of-the-art image-processing technique.
This research aims to improve our knowledge about bone fracture mechanism.
Particularly focusing on the bone fracture mechanism due to bone and joint diseases su...

A new proxy measurement algorithm with applications to vertical ground reaction forces with wearable sensors
A proxy measurement is commonly used when direct measures of the outcome are unobservable and/or unavailable. This paper is a typical and successful application of proxy measurement strategy. In this particular application, wearable IMU (Inertia Measurement Unit) sensors were used to measure the accelerations at different body levels. The acceleration signals were used as the p...

Fine tuning scan time for improving preclinical assessment of bone tissue
MultiSim’s researchers are trying to find ways to reduce and refine animal testing in pre-clinical trials by using computer models and medical imaging. One application of these approaches is to study the effect of skeletal diseases such as osteoporosis and its treatments.
At the University of Sheffield, high-resolution scans can be performed on mice to measure...
