The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil
during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation …

In the human body, many soft tissues with hierarchically ordered composite structures, such
as cartilage, skeletal muscle, the corneas, and blood vessels, exhibit highly anisotropic …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

The problem of a crack impinging on an interface has been thoroughly investigated in the
last three decades due to its important role in the mechanics and physics of solids. In the …

Soft biological tissues are complex materials with a large structural variety, with differences
in behavior, but with some common characteristics. Skin is an archetypal soft tissue which …

The objective of this paper is to provide a review on some aspects of the mathematical and
computational modelling of skin biophysics, with special focus on constitutive theories based …

Geometric features of the aorta are linked to patient risk of rupture in the clinical decision to
electively repair an ascending aortic aneurysm (AsAA). Previous approaches have focused …

In this study, we present a fully-coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework that
combines smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and nonlinear finite element (FE) method …

Ultrasound elastography enables in vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of living
soft tissues in a non-destructive and non-invasive manner and has attracted considerable …

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 …
