A homeostatic-driven turnover remodelling constitutive model for healing in soft tissues
(2016-03)
Article
Open AccessRemodelling of soft biological tissue is characterized by interacting biochemical and biomechanical events, which change the tissue's microstructure, and, consequently, its macroscopic mechanical properties. Remodelling ... -
Microstructural quantification of collagen fiber orientations and its integration in constitutive modeling of the porcine carotid artery
(2016-03)
Article
Open AccessBackground Mechanical characteristics of vascular tissue may play a role in different arterial pathologies, which, amongst others, requires robust constitutive descriptions to capture the vessel wall’s anisotropic and ... -
Spatial orientation of collagen fibers in the abdominal aortic aneurysm's wall and its relation to wall mechanics
(2012-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCollagen is the most abundant protein in mammals and provides the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) wall with mechanical strength, stiffness and toughness. Specifically, the spatial orientation of collagen fibers in the wall ...
