Understanding the mechanical properties of human adipose tissue, and its influence on seat
belt-pelvis interaction is beneficial for computational human body models that are developed …

Introduction Human adipose tissue (fat) deforms substantially under normal physiological
loading and during impact. Thus, accurate data on strain-dependent stiffness of fat is …

The mechanical behavior of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) affects the interaction
between vehicle occupants and restraint systems in motor vehicle crashes (MVCs). To …

The lap belt-pelvis interaction is one of the main factors influencing the risk for abdominal
and lower extremity injuries during vehicular crashes. To numerically study the lap belt …

Subcutaneous adipose tissue has been tested in uniaxial compression over a wide range of
strain rates from quasi-static to 5700 s− 1. In the quasi-static regime, the tissue was …

Mechanical models of adipose tissue are important for various medical applications
including cosmetics, injuries, implantable drug delivery systems, plastic surgeries …

The characterization of human subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) under high-rate loading
is valuable for development of biofidelic finite element human body models (FE-HBMs) to …

Knowing the mechanical properties of human adipose tissue is key to simulate surgeries
such as liposuction, mammoplasty and many plastic surgeries in which the subcutaneous fat …

Subcutaneous adipose tissue has been tested in compression and in shear over a wide
range of strain rates, from quasi-static to 5700 s-1. In the quasi-static regime the tissue was …

Soft tissues in the hip region, which are typically considered the natural shock-absorbers
during falls, attenuate the applied forces to the underlying hard tissue. The soft tissue …
