In this column, we will consider the differences between a rigid link model with only a skeleton and no muscles, and a musculoskeletal model that includes both the skeleton and muscles when modeling the human body. The foundation of physical activities such as walking, sitting, and standing is the bones of the entire body and the joints that connect them. Most visible physical activities are realized through the rotational movements of the bones around the joints. The skeletal muscles, which are said to number around 400 types, are responsible for these rotational movements. Muscles exert force (muscle tension) by contracting. There are no muscles that push or rotate. The contraction of muscles is converted into movements around the joints, enabling human motion. For more details, please refer to the related links.

This column introduces the "Equations of Motion Used in Resin Flow Analysis." In general thermoplastic resins, the viscosity is very high relative to the density, and when considering injection molding, the thickness is thin compared to the area, allowing us to assume flow between parallel plates, with the representative length considered to be twice the thickness. Due to these factors, the Reynolds number becomes sufficiently small, and the effect of convection is considered to be small compared to viscosity, allowing us to omit the convection term.

This column introduces "Viscosity Models in OpenFOAM." Fluids like water and air have the characteristic that shear stress is proportional to shear rate. Such fluids are called Newtonian fluids. The proportionality constant in this case is viscosity, which is an intrinsic property of the fluid. On the other hand, in non-Newtonian fluids such as blood, clay, and whipped cream, this proportional relationship does not hold. For example, the viscosity of blood does not increase with shear rate; rather, it decreases as the shear rate increases. OpenFOAM provides a variety of viscosity models for non-Newtonian fluids in addition to those for Newtonian fluids. For more details, please refer to the related links.
