Overview
I am currently interested in the biomechanics, especially the stress caused by the Vibro-impact capsule passing through the small intestine. Both experiments and FEA methods were conducted to detect the stress and pressure on the contact surface between the capsule and intestine. The maximum stress and force reaction caused by the capsule will be collected and assessed so that it provides the feedback to properly design the capsule locomotion.
