...Ondřej Lisický; Anna Hrubanová; Jiří Burša The paper aims at evaluation of mechanical tests of soft tissues and creation of their representative stress–strain responses and respective constitutive models. Interpretation of sets of experimental results depends highly on the approach to the data...

... such as computational human body models for surgery simulation, and blunt impact trauma prediction. This article presents a comprehensive review of in vivo experimental approaches that aimed to characterize the mechanical properties of adipose tissue, and the resulting constitutive models and model parameters...

... evaluated using three constitutive models for articular cartilage: quasilinear neo-Hookean, nonlinear Veronda Westmann, and tension-compression nonlinear ellipsoidal fiber distribution (EFD). Transchondral predictions of maximum shear stress and first principal strain were determined. Mesh convergence...

... population size. The FEA simulations do not account for the presence of ILT (identified in the segmentation of the image datasets) or anisotropy of the aortic wall [ 30 , 31 ], nor was a growth and remodeling constitutive model considered (e.g., with elastin, collagen, and smooth muscle cell activation...

..., the toe-region modulus was 2× stiffer with degeneration. However, no other differences in measured mechanical properties were observed with degeneration. The constitutive model fit well to samples oriented along the radial and circumferential directions ( R 2 ≥ 0.97 ) . The fibers supported the highest...

... < 0.001 ). The constitutive model was successfully fit to transverse PCL and blend constructs at all time points to yield matrix constants μ i and ν i (Figs. 4b 4c , Table 2 ), with average R 2 = 0.986 and BA − 0.002 ± 0.004   MPa . As an example...

... constitutive model. To date, stress analysis conducted on AAA is mainly driven by isotropic tissue models. However, recent biaxial tensile tests performed on AAA tissue samples demonstrate the anisotropic nature of this tissue. The purpose of this work is to study the influence of geometry and material...
