    Author: Wei W, Bi DW, Zheng Q, Zu G.
    Journal: Zhongguo Gu Shang; 2010 May; 23(5):400-2. PubMed ID: 20575307.
    Abstract:
    Finite element analysis (FEA) is broadly used in engineering, it was initially applied to simulate and solve a variety of engineering mechanics, thermal, electromagnetics, and other physical problems. The principle is a collective to be composed by an infinite number of particles, and an unlimited number of degrees of freedom from the continuum approximation. Brekelmas and Ryblcki firstly applied the finite element method to orthopedic biomechanics research in 1972. The first cervical vertebra finite element model was established in 1982 by Hosey. With the computer and software technology advances in the past 20 years, finite element method in cervical spine biomechanics studies is increased and widespread.
