The gastrointestinal (GI) organs of the human body are responsible for transporting and
extracting nutrients from food and drink, as well as excreting solid waste. Biomechanical …

Inverse modeling approaches in cardiovascular medicine are a collection of methodologies
that can provide non-invasive patient-specific estimations of tissue properties, mechanical …

Auxetic behaviour, the unphysical transverse expansion during uniaxial tension, is a
common and undesirable feature of classical anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive models for …

With mechanical thrombectomy emerging as the new standard of care for stroke treatment,
clot analogues provide an extremely useful tool in the testing and design of these treatment …

While the anisotropic behavior of the complex composite myocardial tissue has been well
characterized in recent years, the compressibility of the tissue has not been rigorously …

This paper is devoted to mathematical modeling of anisotropic hyperelastic thick cylindrical
shells like arteries by taking into account the volume compressibility and through-the …

The mechanisms behind in-stent restenosis, the re-narrowing of a stented artery, are poorly
understood. However it is known that mechanical damage due to stent implantation plays a …

Mechanical thrombectomy can be significantly affected by the mechanical properties of the
occluding thrombus. In this study, we provide the first characterisation of the volumetric …

The most widely-used representation of the compressible, isotropic, neo-Hookean
hyperelastic model is considered in this paper. The version under investigation is that which …

Patient-specific biomechanical modeling of the cardiovascular system is complicated by the
presence of a physiological pressure load given that the imaged tissue is in a pre-stressed …
