Full‐field optical measurements like digital image correlation or the grid method have
brought a paradigm shift in the experimental mechanics community. While inverse …

Mechanical testing of arterial tissue can provide unique insights into its behaviour. As
measurement and computational techniques continue to advance, new applications can be …

Atherosclerosis is a common arterial disease which alters the stiffness of arterial wall.
Arterial stiffness is related to many cardiovascular diseases. In this investigation, maximum …

The present study aims at characterizing the post-necking strain hardening behavior of three
sheet metals having different hardening behavior. Standard tensile tests were performed on …

Although hundreds of samples obtained from ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (ATAA)
of patients undergoing elective surgical repair have already been characterized …

The virtual fields method is an approach to inversely identify material parameters using full-
field deformation data. In this manuscript, a new set of automatically-defined virtual fields for …

We introduce a finite-element-model-updating-based open-source framework to identify
mechanical parameters of heterogeneous hyperelastic materials from in silico generated full …

Many vascular disorders, including aortic aneurysms and dissections, are characterized by
localized changes in wall composition and structure. Notwithstanding the importance of …

The calibration of solid constitutive models with full‐field experimental data is a long‐
standing challenge, especially in materials that undergo large deformations. In this paper …

The aim of the present study is to retrieve all the anisotropic plastic constitutive parameters
from uniaxial loading. A complex geometry which can provide very heterogeneous stress …
