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 …

Skin is the outermost layer of the body and acts as a primary protective barrier against
external agents such as heat, light, infection, and injury. Additionally, skin regulates the …

The constitutive modelling of soft biological tissues has rapidly gained attention over the last
20 years. Current constitutive models can describe the mechanical properties of arterial …

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 …

The white matter tracts of brain tissue consist of highly-aligned, myelinated fibers; white
matter is structurally anisotropic and is expected to exhibit anisotropic mechanical behavior …

In this work, we present a novel anisotropic data-driven hyperelasticity framework for the
constitutive modeling of soft biological tissues that allows direct incorporation of …

Wrinkling of thin films under tension is omnipresent in nature and modern industry, a
phenomenon which has aroused considerable attention during the past two decades …

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and include, among
others, critical conditions of the aortic wall. Importantly, such critical conditions require …

Through years of evolution, biological soft fibrous tissues have developed remarkable
functional properties, unique hierarchical architectures, and-most notably, an unparalleled …

The aim of this position paper is to provide a brief overview of the current status of
cardiovascular modelling and of the processes required and some of the challenges to be …
