A coupled biventricular finite element and lumped-parameter circulatory system model of heart failure.

abstract：:Accident statistics show that more than 80% of car-to-pedestrian collisions (CPC) occur when pedestrians cross the road. It is very important to establish a finite element model with natural walking posture to study the kinematics and injury mechanism of pedestrians. In this study, a finite element model of six-year-o...
