In this study, we propose a computational characterization technique for obtaining the
material properties of axons and extracellular matrix (ECM) in human brain white matter. To …

Knowing the precise material properties of intracranial head organs is crucial for studying
the biomechanics of head injury. It has been shown that these biological tissues are …

This paper presents the testing and constitutive modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane
(TPU) compound used in commercial applications. The tested specimens were extracted …

This paper presents the three-dimensional finite element constitutive modeling validation for
a Thermoplastic Poly-Urethane (TPU) material. The material parameters are those given in a …

Stem cell‐derived 3D tissues such as spheroids are excellent models for investigating
mechanisms of tissue formation and responses to physiological and mechanical cues …

This study focuses on the variations in the brain tissue dynamic behaviour pointing out new
insight into the material nonlinear viscoelasticity. Shear dynamic response curves are …

A constrained particle swarm optimization algorithm (C-PSO) is introduced and modified for
hyperelastic and visco-hyperelastic characterization of bovine brain tissue at three different …

A new dissipation function W v is devised and presented to capture the rate-dependent
