Arterial growth and remodeling at the tissue level is driven by mechanobiological processes
at cellular and sub-cellular levels. Although it is widely accepted that cells seek to promote …

We review twelve invariant and dispersion-type anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive models
for soft biological tissues based on their fitting performance to various experimental data. To …

Arteries display a nonlinear anisotropic behavior dictated by the elastic properties and
structural arrangement of its main constituents, elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth …

Human vocal folds undergo self-sustaining oscillations during phonation. The phonatory
functions of the vocal folds depend on their mechanical properties. This article presents a …

The plant actin cytoskeleton is an unstable network of filaments that influences polarized
growth through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we used a combination of live cell …

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a debilitating consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
attributed to abnormal stretching of axons caused by blunt head trauma or acceleration of …

The patient-specific biomechanical analysis of the aorta requires the quantification of the in
vivo mechanical properties of individual patients. Current inverse approaches have …

Degradable porous polymeric structures are attractive candidates for biological tissue
scaffolds, and adequate mechanical, transport, chemical and biological properties …

A non-local gradient-based damage formulation within a geometrically non-linear setting is
presented. The hyperelastic constitutive response at local material point level is governed by …

In the field of material modeling, there is a general trend to include more and more complex
phenomena in the modeling, making the models' theoretical derivation and numerical …
