Soft biological tissues are complex materials with a large structural variety, with differences
in behavior, but with some common characteristics. Skin is an archetypal soft tissue which …

Mathematical and numerical modelling of the human cardiovascular system has attracted
remarkable research interest due to its intrinsic mathematical difficulty and the increasing …

The human heart is enclosed in the pericardial cavity. The pericardium consists of a layered
thin sac and is separated from the myocardium by a thin film of fluid. It provides a fixture in …

Rule‐based methods are often used for assigning fiber orientation to cardiac anatomical
models. However, existing methods have been developed using data mostly from the left …

In this work, we present a novel anisotropic data-driven hyperelasticity framework for the
constitutive modeling of soft biological tissues that allows direct incorporation of …

Image-based computational models of the heart represent a powerful tool to shed new light
on the mechanisms underlying physiological and pathological conditions in cardiac function …

Biomechanical modeling has a wide range of applications in the medical field, including in
diagnosis, treatment planning and tissue engineering. The key to these predictive models …

Computational biomechanics plays an important role in biomedical engineering: using
