… We propose a statistical approach to describe microscopic damage evolution in soft
collagenous tissues such as arterial walls. The damage model extends a framework published by …

… Very few groups include a time or cycle dependent soft tissue damage mechanism. A
continuous damage evolution parameter based on the accumulated equivalent strain has been …

… describing the evolution of thermal damage in a collagenous tissue both during and
immediately after heating; collagen is, of course, the primary structural protein in many tissues and …

… undergone by female mammalian reproductive tract collagenous tissues suggest that the
mechanism underpinning MCT mutability could have evolved from a MMP-TIMP system. There …

… about collagen evolution from invertebrate collagen data, and to consider whether collagens
… Depending on the tissues analyzed and the collagen types involved, fibrils have either a …

… time dependent properties of collagenous tissue. We now … showcase the resulting damage
induced mechanical behavior … where the evolution of collagen-associated internal damage …

In this paper a new material model is proposed for the description of stress-softening observed
in cyclic tension tests of collagenous soft tissues such as arterial walls, for applied loads …

… molecular damage during tendon cyclic fatigue loading and computational simulations to …
collagen denaturation accumulates with increasing cycles of fatigue loading, and damage is …

… I have emphasised the widespread importance of connective tissues, but will nonetheless …
vertebrate collagenous tissues, tendons, articular cartilage and structural adipose tissues such …

… j , the onset and evolution of damage is … tissue response to collagen damage, and thus
only the cascade of events that lead to their replacement, the change of mass of non-collagenous …
