Developing methods for the non-invasive characterization of the mechanics of
musculoskeletal tissues is an ongoing research focus in biomechanics. Often, these …

Using a 3D rotational shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) setup, 3D shear wave data were
acquired in the vastus lateralis of a healthy volunteer. The innate tilt between the transducer …

The relationship between brain development and mechanical properties of brain tissue is
important, but remains incompletely understood, in part due to the challenges in measuring …

Background Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a rapidly developing medical
imaging technique that allows for quantitative assessment of the biomechanical properties of …

The goal of this study was to design, fabricate, and characterize hydrogel lattice structures
with consistent, controllable, anisotropic mechanical properties. Lattices, based on three unit …

Artificial neural networks (ANN), established tools in machine learning, are applied to the
problem of estimating parameters of a transversely isotropic (TI) material model using data …

Finite element analysis (FEA) can be used to evaluate applied interface pressures and
internal tissue strains for computational prosthetic socket design. This type of framework …

Ultrasonic rotational 3-D shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) has been used to induce and
evaluate multiple shear wave modes, including both the shear horizontal (SH) and shear …

The combination of finite-element models with medical imaging has been a valuable
contribution to our understanding of tissue mechanics. In recent years, diffusion tensor …

We investigated the ability to tune the anisotropic mechanical properties of 3D-printed
hydrogel lattices by modifying their geometry (lattice strut diameter, unit cell size, and unit …
