This paper presents a critical review of the nonlinear dynamics of hyperelastic structures.
Hyperelastic structures often undergo large strains when subjected to external time …

Soft structures are capable of undergoing reversible large strains and deformations when
facing different types of loadings. Due to the limitations of linear elastic models, researchers …

Articular cartilage (AC) is the thin tissue that covers the long bone ends in the joints and that
ensures the transmission of forces between adjacent bones while allowing nearly …

This paper presents a joint experimental and theoretical approach to the dynamics and
mass sensitivity of hyperelastic plates including cases with modal interactions. For the …

Comprehensively investigated in this paper is the coupled nonlinear dynamics of
hyperelastic beams. Experimental testing is performed to accurately model the …

Isotropic hyperelastic models have been used to determine the material properties of normal
human cartilage, but there remains an incomplete understanding of how these properties …

Auxetic behaviour, the unphysical transverse expansion during uniaxial tension, is a
common and undesirable feature of classical anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive models for …

Numerical simulations are a valuable tool in the field of tissue engineering for cartilage
repair and can help to understand which mechanical properties affect the behavior of …

Pilon fractures are commonly caused by high energy trauma and can result in long-term
immobilization of patients. The use of an external fixator ie the (1) Delta,(2) Mitkovic or (3) …

The finite element method has been used with considerable success to simulate the
behaviour of various joints such as the hip, knee and shoulder. It has had less impact on …
