“中国力学虚拟人”是国家自然科学基金重点项目。它是一个人体骨肌系统参数化几何模型,通过输入人体参数,可以转换为具体研究对象的骨肌系统模型;通过运动捕捉系统,可以将测量得到的人体运动转换为骨肌系统模型的运动;通过运动、动力学分析和肌肉力计算,可以得到一个行为过程中的关节力和肌肉力;它同时是人体全身骨肌系统的有限元模型,可以做全身骨骼或局部骨骼的有限元分析。该项目将开发一个大型软件,支撑上述计算工作。它将在医学、医疗器械设计、人机工程学、体育与艺术科学、人身事故分析等广泛领域获得应用。骨肌系统建模的基本参数取自中国可视化人的研究成果。

Mechanical Virtual Human of China is a key research project supported by National Natural Science Foundation.A human musculoskeletal system will be built, and this system will be able to export transformed individualizedmusculoskeletal geometric model for specific human parameters. Motion capture system will be employed to measurehuman motion and results will be transformed into musculoskeletal model motion. Through kinematics, kinetics and forceanalysis, joint and muscle forces can be determined for whole process of a specific motion. The musculoskeletal systemis also a finite element model, and FE analysis can be performed for global or local skeletal components. A large scalesoftware system will be developed to support all these calculations and analyses, and this software system will findwide applications in such areas as medical engineering, medical instrument design, physical and art education, ergonomicsand traffic accident analysis.
