From cancer diagnosis to detailed characterization of arterial wall biomechanics, the elastic
property of tissues is widely studied as an early sign of disease onset. The fibrous structural …

Metamodels, or models of models, map defined model inputs to defined model outputs.
Typically, metamodels are constructed by generating a dataset through sampling a direct …

Alterations in corneal biomechanics are known to occur in several corneal degenerative
diseases and after refractive surgical procedures. The measurement of corneal …

Purpose: To determine the in vivo elastic modulus of the human cornea using vibrational
optical coherence tomography (VOCT). Methods: Vibrational analysis coupled with optical …

We present a co-axial acoustic-based optical coherence vibrometry probe (CoA-OCV) for
vibro-acoustic resonance quantification in biological tissues. Sample vibrations were …

The success of skin tissue engineering for deep wound healing relies predominantly on the
design of innovative and effective biomaterials. This study reports the synthesis and …

Background Increased tissue stiffness (also termed modulus) has been shown to be a
characteristic of potential tumor metastasis. Measured values of the stiffness of tumors and …

Elastic moduli of tissues and synthetic polymeric materials are important design properties
needed to develop new implants. In this paper we report the use of vibrational optical …

Viscoelasticity of the soft tissue is an important mechanical factor for disease diagnosis,
biomaterials testing and fabrication. Here, we present a real-time and high-resolution …

Numerous tests have been used to elucidate the mechanical properties of tissues and
implants including tensile, compressive, shear, hydrostatic compression and threepoint …
