Numerical simulation of wave propagation through interfaces using the extended finite element method for magnetic resonance elastography

Résumé

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an elasticity imaging technique for quantitatively assessing the stiffness of human tissues. In MRE, finite element method (FEM) is widely used for modeling wave propagation and stiffness reconstruction. However, in front of inclusions with complex interfaces, FEM can become burdensome in terms of the model partition and computationally expensive. In this work, we implement a formulation of FEM, known as the eXtended finite element method (XFEM), which is a method used for modeling discontinuity like crack and heterogeneity. Using a level-set method, it makes the interface independent of the mesh, thus relieving the meshing efforts. We investigate this method in two studies: wave propagation across an oblique linear interface and stiffness reconstruction of a random-shape inclusion. In the first study, numerical results by XFEM and FEM models revealing the wave conversion rules at linear interface are presented and successfully compared to the theoretical predictions. The second study, investigated in a pseudo-practical application, demonstrates further the applicability of XFEM in MRE and the convenience, accuracy, and speed of XFEM with respect to FEM. XFEM can be regarded as a promising alternative to FEM for inclusion modeling in MRE.
