Abstract: Recent isothermal biaxial isotonic tests suggest that increasing the temperature hastens the rate of denaturation of epicardium whereas increasing the mechanical load during heating delays this ...

Abstract: Most soft tissues that are treated clinically via heating experience multiaxial states of stress and strain in vivo and are subject to complex constraints during treatment. Remarkably, however, ...

Abstract: Supra-physiological temperatures are increasingly being used to treat many different soft tissue diseases and injuries. To identify improved clinical treatments, however, there is a need for better ...
