Poroelastic Modeling of Highly Hydrated Collagen Hydrogels: Experimental Results vs. Numerical Simulation with Custom and Commercial Finite Element Solvers

Posted on by MultiSim
With the non-stop advances in computational methods and tools, researchers have a wide range of possibilities when it comes to choosing the most appropriate software for their work. In the field of biomechanics and biomaterials, one of the most used tools to predict and understand the behaviour of materials and devices is the finite element method, which allows for the ...

Citizen scientists needed to map 3D scans to solve puzzle of bird bill evolution

Posted on by MultiSim
Citizen scientists from across the globe are needed to help a team of University of Sheffield researchers map 3D scans of the bills of every living species of bird in the world. Dr Gavin Thomas, of the University’s Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, and his research group have embarked on the task of scanning the bills of 10,000 species to build the most compre...

MultiSim Expands Again – Adds another Researcher

Posted on by MultiSim
Multisim Again
MultiSim, an EPSRC funded research project, carries on its growth by welcoming Dr Mario Giorgi to the team. This will only again cement MultiSim at the forefront of research into modelling complex and partially identified engineering problems. Dr Mario Giorgi is a post-doctoral research associate in the Department of Human Metabolism of the University of Sheffield since 2015. ...
