Several soft biological tissues and artificial materials are characterised by a mechanical
behaviour described by two-dimensional structural systems sustaining in-plane forces …

The complex procedures involved in the reconstructive surgery of human skin to minimize
post-operative scarring are here modeled by means of an automated computational tool. A …

Silicone rubber has unique properties where it has the ability to elongate in large
deformation and thus, its property is often investigated using hyperelastic theory. However …

Skin is the most extended organ in human body representing 16% of the total body weight
with a surface extension up to 2 m2. From a mechanical viewpoint, skin can be described by …

The skin, which is known as a complex multi-layered tissue, is vital for protecting the body
from potentially harmful external environment and exhibits complex mechanical behaviour …

This work is related to the hyperelastic models most used in soft tissue. The importance of
obtaining accurate mechanical properties of tissues are of great interest for various medical …

This paper aims to assess the influence of skin prestretch to the stress-stretch relations in
defining skin behaviour and properties via a parametric study. Skin prestretch evaluation …

Assessing the health state of wild marine mammals and their populations is challenging,
and there is a growing need to develop reliable proxies for health determination. Climate …

This paper for the first time attempts to establish the biomechanical characteristics of bovine
skin via experiment-theory integration and finite element simulation. 30 specimens prepared …

This paper assesses the Neo-Hookean material parameters pertaining to deformation
behaviour of hyperelastic material by means of numerical analysis. A mathematical model …
