A method to quantify the fiber kinematics of planar tissues under biaxial stretch.
We have developed a method for measuring fiber kinematics in two-dimensional soft collagenous tissues. The technique combines small-angle light scattering (SALS) and biaxial stretch controlled by simultaneous optical strain measurement. Preliminary findings on porcine aortic valve leaflets and bovine pericardium indicate that fiber kinematics are highly tissue specific and are generally non-aff...
متن کاملBiaxial Mechanical Properties of Venous Valve Leaflet Tissues
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is widely accepted as the seventh most common chronic debilitating disease and has a huge impact on human health all over the world. In the United States, 10% to 35% of adults are affected by CVI [1]. Venous valve incompetence is a major cause of this disease. When the venous valves become incompetent, blood reflux can occur, which results in blood pooling in ...
متن کاملOn parameter estimation for biaxial mechanical behavior of arteries.
This article considers the parameter estimation of multi-fiber family models for biaxial mechanical behavior of passive arteries in the presence of the measurement errors. First, the uncertainty propagation due to the errors in variables has been carefully characterized using the constitutive model. Then, the parameter estimation of the artery model has been formulated into nonlinear least squa...
متن کاملFiber Alignment in Directed Carbon Fiber Preforms Mechanical Property Prediction
A finite element method is presented for predicting the mechanical performance of discontinuous fiber mesostructures typically produced by directed carbon fiber preforming. High-filament count bundles are modeled using beam elements to enable large representative volume elements to be studied. The beams are attached to a regular grid of 2D continuum elements, which represent the matrix material...
متن کاملPREDICTING THE STIFFNESS OF BIAXIAL BRAIDED FIBER COMPOSITES BY INCORPORATION OF CARBON NANO FIBER
In this study, carbon nano fibers (CNFs) were mixed into epoxy resin through a magnetic stirrer and again mixed using ultra sonicator. Using hand layup technique, biaxial braided fiber composites were prepared with unfilled, 0.2, 0.5 and 1 wt% CNF. Tensile test and shear test was performed to identify the tensile strength and shear strength of the composites. Fractured surface of the tensile sp...
