- Additional information
- A key paper in the area of skin modelling, it offers a three dimensional FEA approach to the almost exclusively two dimensional work previously offered in the field. Furthermore it seeks to address the previously independent influence of both pressure and friction on the deformation of cutaneous vessels. The paper has been independently referenced five times, and presented by the first author at the prestigious Wear of Materials conference 2017 in California. The key impact of the work is the facility to model devices through the design and development process to ensure that pressure damage to the skin is minimised.
