  • Computationally efficient model to predict the deformations of a cellular foot orthotic 

    Moeini, Mohammadreza; Ménard, Anne-Laure; Yue, Lingyu; Hajizadeh, Maryam; Begon, Mickaël; Lévesque, Martin (Elsevier, 2022-04-21)
    Background Foot orthotics (FOs) are frequently prescribed to provide comfortable walking for patients. Finite element (FE) simulation and 3D printing pave the way to analyse, optimize and fabricate functionally graded lattice FOs where the local ...
  • Numerical homogenization of a linearly elastic honeycomb lattice structure and comparison with analytical and experimental results 

    Moeini, Mohammadreza; Begon, Mickaël; Lévesque, Martin (Elsevier, 2022-01-15)
    This paper presents a verification and validation analysis of Finite Element (FE) models predicting the mechanical response of linearly elastic honeycomb structures. We have studied three main models, namely: analytical models based on beam theories, ...
  • Surrogate optimization of a lattice foot orthotic 

    Moeini, Mohammadreza; Yue, Lingyu; Begon, Mickaël; Lévesque, Martin (Elsevier, 2022-11-30)
    Background: Additive manufacturing enables to print patient-specific Foot Orthotics (FOs). In FOs featuring lattice structures, the variation of the cell’s dimensions provides a locally variable stiffness to meet the therapeutic needs of each patient. ...
