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 …

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 …

The study of corneal biomechanics is motivated by the tight relationship between
biomechanical properties and visual function within the ocular system. For instance …

Purpose In recent years, the interest in corneal biomechanics has strongly increased. The
material properties of the cornea determine its shape and therefore play an important role in …

The purpose of this review is to collect and summarize all the scientific literature regarding
the use of intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) in corneal ectatic disease. These implants …

Experimental tests on human corneas reveal distinguished reinforcing collagen lamellar
structures that may be well described by a structural constitutive model considering …

The bulk of the corneal stroma is comprised of a layered network of fibrillar collagen.
Determining the architecture of this unique structure may help us to better understand the …

The elasticity map** of individual layers in the cornea using non-destructive elastography
techniques advances diagnosis and monitoring of ocular diseases and treatments in …

Purpose.: To model keratoconus (KC) progression and investigate the differential responses
of central and eccentric cones to standard and alternative collagen cross-linking (CXL) …

Background The steep cornea in keratoconus can greatly impair eyesight. The etiology of
keratoconus remains unclear but early injury that weakens the corneal stromal architecture …
