RISA Reactive Inelasticity Theoretical Framework for Modeling Viscoelasticity, Plastic Deformation, and Damage in Fibrous Soft Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fibrous soft tissues are biopolymeric materials that are made of extracellular proteins, such as different types of collagen and proteoglycans, and have a high water content. These tissues have nonlinear, anisotropic, and ...
A Histomorphometric and Computational Investigation of the Stabilizing Role of Pectinate Ligaments in the Aqueous Outflow Pathway
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Murine models are commonly used to study glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Glaucoma is associated with elevated intra-ocular pressure (IOP), which is regulated by the tissues of the aqueous outflow ...
Evaluating Plastic Deformation and Damage as Potential Mechanisms for Tendon Inelasticity Using a Reactive Modeling Framework
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inelastic behaviors, such as softening, a progressive decrease in modulus before failure, occur in tendon and are important aspects in degeneration and tendinopathy. These inelastic behaviors are generally attributed to ...
