The gastrointestinal (GI) organs of the human body are responsible for transporting and
extracting nutrients from food and drink, as well as excreting solid waste. Biomechanical …

Inverse modeling approaches in cardiovascular medicine are a collection of methodologies
that can provide non-invasive patient-specific estimations of tissue properties, mechanical …

We derive an asymptotically consistent morphoelastic shell model to describe the finite
deformations of biological tissues using the variational asymptotic method. Biological …

Auxetic behaviour, the unphysical transverse expansion during uniaxial tension, is a
common and undesirable feature of classical anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive models for …

With mechanical thrombectomy emerging as the new standard of care for stroke treatment,
clot analogues provide an extremely useful tool in the testing and design of these treatment …

While the anisotropic behavior of the complex composite myocardial tissue has been well
characterized in recent years, the compressibility of the tissue has not been rigorously …

This paper is devoted to mathematical modeling of anisotropic hyperelastic thick cylindrical
shells like arteries by taking into account the volume compressibility and through-the …

The mechanisms behind in-stent restenosis, the re-narrowing of a stented artery, are poorly
understood. However it is known that mechanical damage due to stent implantation plays a …

Mechanical thrombectomy can be significantly affected by the mechanical properties of the
occluding thrombus. In this study, we provide the first characterisation of the volumetric …

Abstract Background and Objective: In this work, the analysis of the importance of
hemodynamic updates on a mechanobiological model of atheroma plaque formation is …
