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 …

The anisotropic features play indispensable roles in regulating various life activities in
different organisms. Increasing efforts have been made to learn and mimic various tissues' …

Choosing the best constitutive model and the right set of model parameters is at the heart of
continuum mechanics. For decades, the gold standard in constitutive modeling has been to …

In this study, we propose a novel micromechanical model for the brain white matter, which is
described as a heterogeneous material with a complex network of axon fibers embedded in …

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 …

In the field of material modeling, there is a general trend to include more and more complex
phenomena in the modeling, making the models' theoretical derivation and numerical …

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 …

In this article, we present a new procedure to automatically generate interpretable
hyperelastic material models. This approach is based on symbolic regression which …

Background The steep cornea in keratoconus can greatly impair eyesight. The etiology of
keratoconus remains unclear but early injury that weakens the corneal stromal architecture …

The mechanical stability of blood clots necessary for their functions is provided by fibrin, a
fibrous gel. Rupture of clots leads to life-threatening thrombotic embolization, which is little …
