Abstract: The quasi-linear viscoelastic (QLV) model was applied to incremental stress-relaxation tests and an expression for the stress was derived for each step. This expression was used to compare two ...

Abstract: Parameter estimation techniques have been utilized in the development of a methodology to noninvasively measure blood perfusion using a new thermal surface probe. The core of this probe is ...

Abstract: Evaluations of tendon mechanical behavior based on biochemical and structural arrangement have implications for designing tendon specific treatment modalities or replacement strategies. In addition ...

Abstract: Tendons have complex mechanical behaviors that are nonlinear and time dependent. It is widely held that these behaviors are provided by the tissue’s composition and structure. It is generally ...
