Abstract: Using the quasi-linear viscoelastic model proposed by Fung for the description of the viscoelastic properties of soft biological tissues, the parameters governing their time-dependent behavior are ...

Abstract: For description of the visco-elastic behavior of soft biological tissues, Fung proposed a visco-elastic model formulated in terms of a relaxation function and corresponding relaxation spectrum. ...

Abstract: An experimental approach for an in vitro investigation of some aspects of dynamic force transmission through the human knee joint is presented. Essentially, the behavior of the joint was analyzed ...

Abstract: A general description of the dynamics of a deformable body experiencing large displacements is presented. These displacements are resolved into displacements due to deformation and displacements ...
