Mechanical description and engineering analysis of cutting and needle insertion into Human skin

Abstract eng:
Understanding the total complexity of biomechanical/mechanical properties of the human skin and developing an advance computational model (e.g. the Finite element skin models) that do not differ (or not so much differ!) from experimental data would provide information which could be very useful for surgical training and practical use (special in this project, the goal is to inform the development of optimized device which can be used for effective and reproducible skin penetration in the clinical setting. This project will also provide clear definition of underlying mechanisms of penetration and cutting and make it possible of generating a robust computational and physical model and an excellent technique for measuring skin deformation and in combination with advanced computational/mechanical methods it will offer many possibilities for in vivo measurements).
