Inverse modelling of image-based patient-specific blood vessels: zero-pressure geometry and in vivo stress incorporation

Joris Bols, Joris Degroote, Bram Trachet, Benedict Verhegghe, Patrick Segers, Jan Vierendeels (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In vivo visualization of cardiovascular structures is possible using medical images. However, one has to realize that the resulting 3D geometries correspond to in vivo conditions. This entails an internal stress state to be present in the in vivo measured geometry of e.g. a blood vessel due to the presence of the blood pressure. In order to correct for this in vivo stress, this paper presents an inverse method to restore the original zero-pressure geometry of a structure, and to recover the in vivo...

Inverse problem in engineering plasticity: a quadratic programming approach

Giulio Maier (1981)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Si considera un modello discreto (per elementi finiti) di un solido o un sistema strutturale perfettamente elastoplastico, con condizioni di snervamento «linearizzate a tratti», nell’ipotesi di olonomia assunta per processi di caricamento proporzionali. Supponendo noti su base sperimentale certi spostamenti sotto assegnate azioni esterne, si formula il problema di identificare i limiti di snervamento, ossia le resistenze locali. Si dimostra che questo problema inverso di meccanica strutturale non...

Iterative methods with analytical preconditioning technique to linear complementarity problems: application to obstacle problems

H. Saberi Najafi, S. A. Edalatpanah (2013)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

For solving linear complementarity problems LCP more attention has recently been paid on a class of iterative methods called the matrix-splitting. But up to now, no paper has discussed the effect of preconditioning technique for matrix-splitting methods in LCP. So, this paper is planning to fill in this gap and we use a class of preconditioners with generalized Accelerated Overrelaxation (GAOR) methods and analyze the convergence of these methods for LCP. Furthermore, Comparison between our methods...

Kernel-function Based Algorithms for Semidefinite Optimization

M. EL Ghami, Y. Q. Bai, C. Roos (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Recently, Y.Q. Bai, M. El Ghami and C. Roos [3] introduced a new class of so-called eligible kernel functions which are defined by some simple conditions. The authors designed primal-dual interior-point methods for linear optimization (LO) based on eligible kernel functions and simplified the analysis of these methods considerably. In this paper we consider the semidefinite optimization (SDO) problem and we generalize the aforementioned results for LO to SDO. The iteration bounds obtained are...

Kernel-function Based Primal-Dual Algorithms for P*(κ) Linear Complementarity Problems

M. EL Ghami, T. Steihaug (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Recently, [Y.Q. Bai, M. El Ghami and C. Roos, SIAM J. Opt. 15 (2004) 101–128] investigated a new class of kernel functions which differs from the class of self-regular kernel functions. The class is defined by some simple conditions on the growth and the barrier behavior of the kernel function. In this paper we generalize the analysis presented in the above paper for P*(κ) Linear Complementarity Problems (LCPs). The analysis for LCPs deviates significantly from the analysis for linear optimization....
