The sensitivity of biological finite element models to the resolution of surface geometry: a case study of crocodilian crania

The reliability of finite element analysis (FEA) in biomechanical investigations depends upon understanding the influence of model assumptions. In producing finite element models, surface mesh resolution is influenced by the resolution of input geometry, and influences the resolution of the ensuing...
