Abstract: As the strongest of the meningeal tissues, the spinal dura mater plays an important role in the overall behavior of the spinal cord-meningeal complex (SCM). It follows that the accumulation of damage affects the dura mater's ...

Abstract: The constitutive equation used to characterize and model spinal tissues can significantly influence the conclusions from experimental and computational studies. Therefore, researchers must make critical judgments regarding ...

Abstract: Ventricle dysfunction is the most common cause of heart failure, which leads to high mortality and morbidity. The mechanical behavior of the ventricle is critical to its physiological function. It is known that the ventricle ...

Abstract: Interlamellar shear may play an important role in the homeostasis and degeneration of the intervertebral disk. Accurately modeling the shear behavior of the interlamellar compartment would enhance the study of its ...

Abstract: Microgravity and its inherent reduction in bodyweight associated mechanical loading encountered during spaceflight have been shown to produce deleterious effects on important human physiological processes. Rodent hindlimb ...
