The Simulation the Contact Interaction of the Needle and Brain Tissue

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering book series (LNME)

Abstract

The needle is modeled as an elastic hollow cylindrical flexible rod, partially immersed into a viscoelastic material that simulates brain tissue. The controlled force and moment are applied at the end of the rod. The insertion of the needle is modeled as sliding with friction along a channel whose walls compress the needle. The compression force varies along the axis of the embedded part of the needle and changes in time. The magnitude of the compression forces is determined from the solution of the initial-boundary-value problem. The compression stiffness of the rod is assumed to be infinite, i.e. its deformation is reduced only to bending. Along the axis, the rod moves like an absolutely rigid body. The interaction of a viscoelastic material and a needle is modeled in the linear Winkler approximation as a dynamic system “beam-viscoelastic base” with a time-variable interaction zone length.
