Simulation of linear elastic media with fluid inclusions

This work presents a methodology for haptic rendering of fluid filled structures that are enclosed in linear elastic media using the Finite Element Method. Haptic medical simulation is a growing field of research motivated by creating risk-free virtual environments for medical students to learn a...
