Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, often serving as the main load bearing
constituent in soft tissues. Collagen undergoes continuous remodeling processes in which …

We consider a cylindrical membrane that consists of an isotropic ground substance and
fibers symmetrically arranged in two helically distributed families which are mechanically …

Degradable bio-based materials have been widely considered as functional coatings,
however, it is a great challenge to fabricate biodegradable coatings with high barrier, water …

Collagen fiber has attracted much attention due to its good biocompatibility and
biodegradability. In the present research, we prepared a type of non-fluorine hydrophobic …

The bidirectional self-locked (BS) structure/system proposed recently has a broad
application prospect as energy absorber in the actual situation. Through the energy …

In this article, we study the inflation and bulging of fiber reinforced hyperelastic membranes
in which fibers are symmetrically arranged in two helically distributed families that are …

This article considers a thin-walled hollow cylinder, which is composed of a fibrous and
swellable hyperelastic material. The fibers are arranged in two families and they are taken to …

In this article, we apply sensitivity analysis (SA) to study the pressure–inflation relation and
axial force in a pressurized and extended cylindrical tube. The material consists of an …

In this paper, we present a large-deformation formulation of the mechanics of remodeling.
Remodeling is anelasticity with an internal constraint—material evolutions that are mass and …

Hyperelastic fiber-reinforced materials are conventionally modeled based on the
contributions of their constituent materials. A unified invariant-base constitutive model …
