Predictive Mathematical, and finite element model for cut depth of waterjet for medical applications

Poster entitled "Predictive Mathematical, and finite element model for cut depth of waterjet for medical applications" presented at 2019 Washington State University Academic ShowcaseWater-jet has already been used in several industrial applications such as mining, cutting materials, drilling, and cleaning. Recently, this technology has been used in medical applications such as in surgery, dissection of organs, dentistry, bone cutting, and wound debridement. Measuring depth of cut of water-jet is important from medical applications point of view. For example, in surgical applications using water-jet, selective cutting is a must. In other words, water-jet should cut the desired layer and should not go further. For instance, in order for the optimal performance of the Versajet water-jet surgical tool in treating the different depth face and neck burns, the depth of debridement should be controlled
