Simulating human aorta material behavior using a GPU explicit finite element solver

An examination of: (1)fiber-reinforcement anisotropy, (2)higher-order integration and (3)near-incompressibility on computation speeds using a custom GPU explicit finite element code is presented. A constitutive model of the arterial wall is implemented and tested in full-, selective-reduced, and under integrated regimes to measure relative performance impact. Accuracy verification and speedups are reported relative to established academic and industry proven FE codes. Learn about the current solution speeds and challenges for clinically relevant hyperelastic materials using GPU explicit finite elements.
