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

Experimental protocols are fundamental for quantifying the mechanical behaviour of soft
tissue. These data are crucial for advancing the understanding of soft tissue mechanics …

For colonic stents design, the interaction with colonic tissue is essential in order to
characterize the appropriate radial stiffness which provides a minimum lumen for intestinal …

Despite increasing experimental and analytical efforts to investigate the irreversible effects
of arterial tissue failure, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. The goal of …

The parametric high-fidelity generalized method of cells (PHFGMC) is further developed for
the prediction of damage and progressive failure of composites undergoing large …

The arterial wall's tri-layered macroscopic and layer-specific microscopic structure determine
its mechanical properties, which vary at different arterial locations. Combining layer-specific …

Planar biaxial testing is a popular experimental technique for characterizing and comparing
biological soft tissues. A correct identification of the different stress states of the tissue …

An insight into changes of soft biological tissue ultrastructures under loading conditions is
essential to understand their response to mechanical stimuli. Therefore, this study offers an …

Mechanical properties of the arterial walls could provide meaningful information for the
diagnosis, management and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Classically, various …

This work provides a comprehensive characterization of porcine myocardial tissue,
