We present a novel, fully three-dimensional approach to soft material characterization and
constitutive modeling with relevance to soft biological tissue. Our approach leverages recent …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rates are rising, and there is little consensus about
what puts someone at risk for an ACL injury. Finite element models provide an effective …

Contemporary material characterization techniques that leverage deformation fields and the
weak form of the equilibrium equations face challenges in the numerical solution procedure …

Visualisation plays a key role in anatomy, where the depiction of gross anatomical structures
is essential in understanding and conceptualising content during research and medical …

Background Experimental, fully three-dimensional mechanical characterization of opaque
materials with arbitrary geometries undergoing finite deformations is generally challenging …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries typically require surgical reconstruction to restore
adequate knee stability. The middle third of an injured patient's patellar tendon (PT) is a …

constitutive modeling with relevance to soft biological tissue. Our approach leverages recent …

Gradient soft materials have exciting potential in biomedical applications; however,
challenges still exist in terms of their fabrication and validation. This project aims to design a …

Material heterogeneity and the natural curvature of the enthesis complicates the
biomechanical characterization of the risk of progression and propagation of partial …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rates are rising, particularly for women and young
people. These injuries are debilitative; they typically require surgical reconstruction and lead …
