A finite element model of human skin for surgical simulation
In this thesis, a finite element model of human skin is proposed for use in an interactive real-time surgical simulation to teach surgeons procedures such as facial reconstruction using skin flap repair. For this procedure, skin is cut into flaps that are stretched and rotated to cover openings in t...
