NON-LINEAR DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF THORAX TO IMPULSIVE LOADING OF CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)

摘要

The purpose of this paper is, to provide the non-linear biodynamic response of thorax through the analytical and numerical simulation methods. Adult thorax data considering sagittal and coronal stiffness in addition to soft and hard tissue material properties will undergo CPR impulsive loading. The numerical simulation is conducted using finite element analysis (FEA) software for modeling biomechanical correct Thorax model to CPR transient loading. AMTI force plate was utilized to record the CPR forces, it accounts for realistic load evaluation during CPR procedure. A dynamic model for numerical simulation includes resonance frequency, damping coefficient, stiffness constant and extinction time for a different kind of physique. The model deflections and forces were analyzed. The maximum deflection obtained from mathematical modelling and ANSYS is found closely related. The result strongly depends on the modeling of the thorax which is used in the numerical simulation. This indicates the necessity of the correlation of the results with the experimental data if available.
