Morphological instabilities and surface wrinkling of soft materials such as gels and biological
tissues are of growing interest to a number of academic disciplines including soft …

One of the most remarkable differences between classical engineering materials and living
matter is the ability of the latter to grow and remodel in response to diverse stimuli. The …

In this paper, we proposed a B-Snake based lane detection and tracking algorithm without
any cameras' parameters. Compared with other lane models, the B-Snake based lane …

Not long ago it was thought that the most important characteristics of the mechanics of soft
tissues were their complex mechanical properties: they often exhibit nonlinear, anisotropic …

A miscellany of new strategies, experimental techniques and theoretical approaches are
emerging in the ongoing battle against cancer. Nevertheless, as new, ground-breaking …

With heart and cardiovascular diseases continually challenging healthcare systems
worldwide, translating basic research on cardiac (patho) physiology into clinical care is …

Since its coming of age in the mid 1960s, continuum biomechanics has contributed much to
our understanding of human health as well as to disease, injury, and their treatment …

The continuum mechanical treatment of biological growth and remodeling has attracted
considerable attention over the past fifteen years. Many aspects of these problems are now …

Physical forces generated by cells drive morphologic changes during development and can
feedback to regulate cellular phenotypes. Because these phenomena typically occur within …

Blood vessels exhibit a remarkable ability to adapt throughout life that depends upon
genetic programming and well-orchestrated biochemical processes. Findings over the past …
