Computational modelling of damage and rupture of non-connective and connective soft
tissues due to pathological and supra-physiological mechanisms is vital in the fundamental …

Stroke remains the most prevalent disabling illness today, with internal carotid artery luminal
stenosis due to atheroma formation responsible for the majority of ischemic cerebrovascular …

Background Current methods for aortic dissection risk assessment are inadequate for
patients with ascending aortic aneurysms associated with either bicuspid aortic valves …

This study analyzes the lethal clinical condition of aortic dissections from a numerical point
of view. On the basis of previous contributions by Gültekin et al.(Comput Methods Appl Mech …

The ascending thoracic aorta is poorly understood mechanically, especially its risk of
dissection. To make better predictions of dissection risk, more information about the …

We address anisotropic elasticity and fracture in small intestine walls (SIWs) with both
experimental and computational methods. Uniaxial tension experiments are performed on …

OBJECTIVE: The main purpose of the present study is the investigation of gender
differences in the biomechanical properties, thrombus age, mass fraction and key clinical …

The artery relies on interlamellar structural components, mainly elastin and collagen fibers,
for maintaining its integrity and resisting dissection propagation. In this study, the …

Biological soft tissues experience damage and failure as a result of injury, disease, or simply
age; examples include torn ligaments and arterial dissections. Given the complexity of tissue …

Aortic dissection (AoD) is a common condition that often leads to life-threatening
cardiovascular emergency. From a biomechanics viewpoint, AoD involves failure of load …
