Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Researchers suggest that thermal damage happens when the temperature of biological tissues is over 44 ℃. Accurate analysis of burn range will facilitate diagnosis and therapy of skin burns.
OBJECTIVE: To establish the mathematical model of the skin tissues subjected to high temperature and to analyze heat transfer process, and then to predict the burn range of the skin.
METHODS: A finite element method was used to simulate the temperature field when the skin tissue was burned. And the relevant animal experiment was conducted to identify the mathematical model.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The temperature field was obtained by using the finite element method and the variation tendency between the theoretical data and the experimental data were agreed, but they did not fully coincide. The scope of skin burn can be predicted by the present finite element method, and help to research the process of heat transfer.
