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 …

Many soft tissues are naturally made of a matrix and fibres that present some privileged
directions. They are known to support large reversible deformations. The mechanical …

In the field of computational biomechanics, investigators have primarily used commercial
software that is neither geared toward biological applications nor sufficiently flexible to follow …

For more than half a century, scientists have developed mathematical models to understand
the behavior of the human heart. Today, we have dozens of heart tissue models to choose …

Although it is a central question in biology, how cell shape controls intracellular dynamics
largely remains an open question. Here, we show that the shape of Arabidopsis pavement …

White matter in the brain is structurally anisotropic, consisting largely of bundles of aligned,
myelin-sheathed axonal fibers. White matter is believed to be mechanically anisotropic as …

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 …

We present here a three-dimensional FE model of the healthy human knee that included the
main structures of the joint: bones, all the relevant ligaments and patellar tendon, menisci …

During the last several decades, the finite element method has evolved from a linear
structural analysis procedure to a general technique for solving non-linear, transient, partial …

This paper presents a viscoelastic model for the fully three-dimensional stress and
deformation response of fiber-reinforced composites that experience finite strains. The …
