This paper offers an overview of the potentialities and limitations of digital image correlation
(DIC) as a technique for measuring displacements and strain in biomechanical applications …

Cavitation is the sudden, unstable expansion of a void or bubble within a liquid or solid
subjected to a negative hydrostatic stress. Cavitation rheology is a field emerging from the …

Abdominal organs are the most vulnerable body parts during vehicle trauma, leading to high
mortality rate due to acute injuries of liver, kidney, spleen and other abdominal organs …

High-quality gynecologist and midwife training is particularly relevant to limit medical
complications and reduce maternal and fetal morbimortalities. Physical and virtual training …

Real-time soft tissue characterization is significant to robotic assisted minimally invasive
surgery for achieving precise haptic control of robotic surgical tasks and providing realistic …

Dynamic soft tissue identification plays an important role in robotic‐assisted minimally
invasive surgery to achieve realistic force feedback for precise and safe surgical operations …

Viscoelastic models are generally considered a good option for modeling biological tissue
due to tissue time-dependency. However, although various forms of viscoelastic models …

Although palpation has been successfully employed for centuries to assess soft tissue
quality, it is a subjective test, and is therefore qualitative and depends on the experience of …

Tissue mechanical properties such as elasticity are linked to tissue pathology state. Several
groups have proposed shear wave propagation speed to quantify tissue mechanical …
