The mechanical properties of soft tissues play a key role in studying human injuries and their
mitigation strategies. While such properties are indispensable for computational modelling …

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 …

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polymer that holds considerable promise for
tissue engineering applications. Current cross-linking chemistries often require a coupling …

Soft biological tissues are complex materials with a large structural variety, with differences
in behavior, but with some common characteristics. Skin is an archetypal soft tissue which …

From the development of x-ray imaging in the late 19th century, the field of medical imaging
developed an impressive array of modalities. These can measure and image a variety of …

Purpose: We combined finite element (FE) analysis and dynamic magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) to estimate optic nerve head (ONH) strains during horizontal eye movements …

Modelling the mechanical behaviour of biological tissues is of vital importance for clinical
applications. It is necessary for surgery simulation, tissue engineering, finite element …

We reconstruct the in vivo spatial distribution of linear and nonlinear elastic parameters in
ten patients with benign (five) and malignant (five) tumors. The mechanical behavior of …

Measuring the ripeness of fruits is one of the critical factors in achieving real-time quality
control and sorting of fruit by growers and postharvest managers. However, recent tactile …

Identifying constitutive parameters in engineering and biological materials, particularly those
with intricate geometries and mechanical behaviors, remains a longstanding challenge. The …
