Large skin wounds pose a major clinical challenge. Scarcity of donor site and postsurgical
scarring contribute to the incomplete or partial loss of function and aesthetic concerns in skin …

Although there has been an upsurge of interest in research on women's sexual and
reproductive health, most of the research has remained confined to the obstetrics and …

The correct modelling of constitutive laws is of critical importance for the analysis of
mechanical behaviour of solids and structures. For example, the understanding of soft tissue …

This paper introduces a data-driven process for designing and fabricating materials with
desired deformation behavior. Our process starts with measuring deformation properties of …

The mechanical behavior of human liver has been characterized with aspiration
experiments. Measurements have been performed in vivo under sterile conditions during …

The lack of experimental data in current literature on material properties of soft tissues in
living condition has been a significant obstacle in the development of realistic soft tissue …

This paper introduces a data-driven representation and modeling technique for simulating
non-linear heterogeneous soft tissue. It simplifies the construction of convincing deformable …

Simulation-based training using VR techniques is a promising alternative to traditional
training in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Simulators let the trainee touch, feel, and …

Background/purpose: Various analyses have been performed to identify the mechanical
properties of the human skin tissue in vivo. They generally use different approaches and …

We describe an approach that we propose to model the electromechanical behavior of the
heart, and to use the model in a data assimilation procedure in order to perform an …
