Biological materials such as extracellular matrix scaffolds, cancer cells, and tissues are often
assumed to respond elastically for simplicity; the viscoelastic response is quite commonly …

Biomechanics is often defined as 'mechanics applied to biology'. Due to the variety and
complexity of the behaviour of biological structures and materials, biomechanics is better …

An array of highly sensitive pressure sensors entirely made of biodegradable materials is
presented, designed as a single-use flexible patch for application in cardiovascular …

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 …

Quantification of mechanical properties of human prostate tissue is important for developing
sonoelastography for prostate cancer detection. In this study, we characterized the …

The constitutive behavior of polymeric materials is often modeled by finite linear viscoelastic
(FLV) or quasi-linear viscoelastic (QLV) models. These popular models are simplifications …

Computational mechanics has been advanced in every area of orthopedic biomechanics.
The objective of this paper is to provide a general review of the computational models used …

This paper offers a reappraisal of Fung's model for quasi-linear viscoelasticity. It is shown
that a number of negative features exhibited in other works, commonly attributed to the Fung …

The fitting of quasi-linear viscoelastic (QLV) constitutive models to material data often
involves somewhat cumbersome numerical convolution. A new approach to treating quasi …

In this paper we present a fully three-dimensional finite strain anisotropic visco-hyperelastic
model for ligaments and tendons. The structural model is formulated within the framework of …
