Elastica-based strain energy functions for soft biological tissue
Continuum strain energy density functions are developed for soft biological tissues that possess slender, fibrillar components. The treatment is based on the model of an elastica, which is our fine scale model, and is homogenized in a simple fashion to obtain a continuum strain energy density function. Notably, we avoid solving the exact, fourth-order, nonlinear, partial differential equation f...
متن کاملEnergetic elasticity models for soft biological tissue: Role of the elastica
Strain energy functions for currently-used soft biological tissue have two main origins. Some have been adopted from the rubber elasticity and polymer elasticity literature, and others have functional forms that have been chosen to reproduce the characteristic locking behavior observed in experiments (Holzapfel and Ogden, 2006). Among the rubber/polymer elasticity models are micromechanically-d...
متن کاملA New Technique based on Strain Energy for Correction of Stress-strain Curve
Tensile stress-strain curve is of high importance in mechanics of materials particularly in numerical simulations of material deformations. The curve is usually obtained by experiment but is limited by necking phenomenon. Engineering stress-strain curve is converted to true stress-strain curve through simple formulas. The conversion, however, is correct up the point of necking. From this point ...
متن کاملLaser Speckle Strain Measurements in Soft Tissue
The importance of understanding the mechanical behavior of tissues is starting to be recognized in medical diagnostics. It is becoming clear that pathological tissues behave mechanically differently than do healthy tissues. However, traditional optical evaluation methods, particularly speckle-based methods, have not proven to be effective in assessing the mechanics of biological soft tissues. T...
متن کاملAn empirical measure of nonlinear strain for soft tissue indentation
Indentation is a primary tool in the investigation of the mechanical properties of very soft tissue such as the brain. However, the usual material characterization protocols are not applicable because the resulting deformation is inhomogeneous, with even the identification of the amount of strain ambiguous and uncertain. Focusing on spherical indentation only, a standard is needed to quantify t...
