Mathematical and numerical modelling of the cardiovascular system is a research topic that
has attracted remarkable interest from the mathematical community because of its intrinsic …

In this paper we develop a new constitutive law for the description of the (passive)
mechanical response of arterial tissue. The artery is modeled as a thick-walled nonlinearly …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

Constitutive relations are fundamental to the solution of problems in continuum mechanics,
and are required in the study of, for example, mechanically dominated clinical interventions …

This review article is concerned with the mathematical modelling of the mechanical
properties of the soft biological tissues that constitute the walls of arteries. Many important …

With heart and cardiovascular diseases continually challenging healthcare systems
worldwide, translating basic research on cardiac (patho) physiology into clinical care is …

Since its coming of age in the mid 1960s, continuum biomechanics has contributed much to
our understanding of human health as well as to disease, injury, and their treatment …

An efficient constitutive formulation approximates all types of soft tissues with a reasonable
accuracy over a large strain range. We request a simple constitutive equation with only a few …

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 …

Drawing inspiration from examples by analogy can be a powerful tool for innovative design
during conceptual ideation but also carries the risk of negative design outcomes (eg, design …
