On the Formulation of Constitutive Equations for Living Soft Tissues*
Soft living tissues deform freely under negligible stresses until a certain strain level is reached at which their stiffness increases sharply. Constitutive equations are developed that describe this kind of mechanical behavior and include Hooke's law as a limiting case. It is shown that, similar to Hooke's law, these constitutive equations assure uniqueness of solution for a broad class of bou...
متن کامل“the effect of risk aversion on the demand for life insurance: the case of iranian life insurance market”
abstract: about 60% of total premium of insurance industry is pertained?to life policies in the world; while the life insurance total premium in iran is less than 6% of total premium in insurance industry in 2008 (sigma, no 3/2009). among the reasons that discourage the life insurance industry is the problem of adverse selection. adverse selection theory describes a situation where the inf...
15 صفحه اولOn the Active Response of Soft Living Tissues
Soft tissues exhibit a nonlinear, essentially incompressible (visco-) elastic response; a key issue is the active nature of muscle fibres, in other words their ability to contract and relax in response to biochemical signals. Here we present a continuum model able to describe an active elastic medium.
متن کاملConsistent formulation of the growth process at the kinematic and constitutive level for soft tissues composed of multiple constituents.
Previous studies have investigated the possibilities of modelling the change in volume and change in density of biomaterials. This can be modelled at the constitutive or the kinematic level. This work introduces a consistent formulation at the kinematic and constitutive level for growth processes. Most biomaterials consist of many constituents and can be approximated as being incompressible. Th...
متن کاملA variational constitutive model for soft biological tissues.
In this paper, a fully variational constitutive model of soft biological tissues is formulated in the finite strain regime. The model includes Ogden-type hyperelasticity, finite viscosity, deviatoric and volumetric plasticity, rate and microinertia effects. Variational updates are obtained via time discretization and pre-minimization of a suitable objective function with respect to internal var...
