The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil
during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation …

The mechanical properties of the skin are important for various applications. Numerous tests
have been conducted to characterize the mechanical behavior of this tissue, and this article …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

Structural finite-element analysis (FEA) has been widely used to study the biomechanics of
human tissues and organs, as well as tissue–medical device interactions, and treatment …

In the human body, many soft tissues with hierarchically ordered composite structures, such
as cartilage, skeletal muscle, the corneas, and blood vessels, exhibit highly anisotropic …

Soft structures are capable of undergoing reversible large strains and deformations when
facing different types of loadings. Due to the limitations of linear elastic models, researchers …

The mechanical properties of skin are important for a number of applications including
surgery, dermatology, impact biomechanics and forensic science. In this study, we have …

In the multidisciplinary field of heart research it is of utmost importance to identify accurate
myocardium material properties for the description of phenomena such as mechano-electric …

Many soft tissues are naturally made of a matrix and fibres that present some privileged
directions. They are known to support large reversible deformations. The mechanical …

Data-driven methods have changed the way we understand and model materials. However,
while providing unmatched flexibility, these methods have limitations such as reduced …
