Optimized FE mesh generation procedure based on a user-defined spatial refinement gradient. Application to a motion segment

Finite Element (FE) meshes are usually highly refined and dense and, consequently, computationally very expensive. Therefore, after the preliminary FE mesh generation, it is necessary to decrease its size by diminishing the total number of nodes and elements while maintaining both geometrical accura...
