Abstract:

The purpose of the work is to develop methods of mathematical modeling using finite element analysis in forensic medical examination. The stages of the methodology for solving problems of deformable body mechanics in forensic medicine are considered, which allows to reliably establish the possibility of formation and morphology of damage under specific conditions and circumstances, to focus the researcher’s attention on problem points when creating and evaluating the model. The use of simplified models of the human body makes the expert’s conclusion more reasonable, which increases the confidence of law enforcement agencies in the activities of the forensic medical expert service and allows for a new look at solving the problems of forensic medicine and forensic medical examination.
