Abstract: Mechanical instability of soft tissues can either risk their normal function or alternatively trigger patterning mechanisms during growth and morphogenesis processes. Unlike standard stability analysis of linear elastic ...

Abstract: Mechanical stability analysis is instructive in explaining biological processes like morphogenesis, organogenesis, and pathogenesis of soft tissues. Consideration of the layered, residually stressed structure of tissues, ...

Abstract: Vascular tortuosity may impede blood flow, occlude the lumen, and ultimately lead to ischemia or even infarction. Mechanical loads like blood pressure, axial force, and also torsion are key factors participating in this ...

Abstract: The fundamental twist motion in tubes is commonly generated by torque. However, twist can also be indirectly induced by mechanical loadings (inflation/extension), growth and remodeling processes, and environmental conditions. ...

Abstract: Despite major advances made in modeling vascular tissue biomechanics, the predictive power of constitutive models is still limited by uncertainty of the input data. Specifically, key measurements, like the geometry of the ...
