A key feature of living tissues is their capacity to remodel and grow in response to
environmental cues. Within continuum mechanics, this process can be captured with the …

The present study investigates the layer-specific mechanical behavior of human skin.
Motivated by skin's histology, a biphasic model is proposed which differentiates between …

Suction experiments have been extensively applied for skin characterization. In these tests
the deformation behavior of superficial tissue layers determines the elevation of the skin …

Predicting mechanical stress contours on skin resulting from local tissue rearrangement
surgeries is needed to design optimal treatment plans and avoid wound healing …

To produce functional, aesthetically natural results, reconstructive surgeries must be
planned to minimize stress as excessive loads near wounds have been shown to produce …

In the last decade, preoperative modelling of the treatment of cerebral aneurysms is being
actively developed. Fluid-structure interaction problem is a key point of a such modelling …

Abstract in vivo skin characterization methods were shown to be useful in the detection of
microstructural alterations of the dermis due to skin diseases. Specifically, the diagnostic …

Background In vivo mechanical characterisation of biological soft tissue is challenging, even
under moderate quasi-static loading. Clinical application of suction-based methods is …

Objective Conduct a first in vivo study on the large deformation stress relaxation behavior of
the human scalp. Methods This study was conducted during Mohs micrographic surgery of …

One of the intrinsic features of skin and other biological tissues is the high variation in the
mechanical properties across individuals and different demographics. Mechanical …
