Abstract Since Robert Langer and colleagues pioneered the concept of reconstructing tissue
using cells transplanted on synthetic polymer matrices in the early 1990s, research in the …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the system of organs within multi-cellular animals that takes
in food, digests it to extract energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste. The …

Purpose.: To investigate the age-related differences in the inhomogeneous, anisotropic,
nonlinear biomechanical properties of posterior sclera from old (22.9±5.3 years) and young …

A fully three-dimensional anisotropic elastic model for vascular tissue modelling is
presented here. The underlying strain energy density function is assumed to additively …

The mechanical properties of tissues, tissue analogs, and biomaterials are dependent on
their underlying microstructure. As such, many mechanical models incorporate some aspect …

The novel three-dimensional (3D) mathematical model for the development of abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA) of Watton et al. Biomech Model Mechanobiol 3 (2): 98–113,(2004) …

The sclera is the white outer shell and principal load-bearing tissue of the eye as it sustains
the intraocular pressure. We have hypothesized that the mechanical properties of the …

We compare two constitutive models proposed to model the elastinous constituents of an
artery. Holzapfel and Weizsäcker [1998. Biomechanical behavior of the arterial wall and its …

The development of an anatomically realistic model of intestinal tissue is essential for the
progress of several clinical applications of medical robotics. A hyperelastic theory of the …

A mathematical model is proposed for studying the vibration induced loosening of threaded
fasteners that are subjected to harmonic transverse excitation, which often causes slippage …
