Biaxial testing system for characterization of mechanical and rupture properties of small samples [PDF]
The study of damage and rupture of soft tissues using a tensile testing system is essential to understand the limits of mechanical behavior and loss of function in diseased tissues. However, commercial material testing systems are often expensive and may

Region- and layer-specific investigations of the human menisci using SHG imaging and biaxial testing [PDF]
In this paper, we examine the region- and layer-specific collagen fiber morphology via second harmonic generation (SHG) in combination with planar biaxial tension testing to suggest a structure-based constitutive model for the human meniscal tissue. Five

Quantification of Coupled Stiffness and Fiber Orientation Remodeling in Hypertensive Rat Right-Ventricular Myocardium Using 3D Ultrasound Speckle Tracking with Biaxial Testing. [PDF]
Mechanical and structural changes of right ventricular (RV) in response to pulmonary hypertension (PH) are inadequately understood. While current standard biaxial testing provides information on the mechanical behavior of RV tissues using surface markers,

Viscoelastic Properties of Porcine Pericardium Under Biaxial Tensile Creep and Stress Relaxation: Application for Novel Aortic Valve Bioprosthesis Design [PDF]
To design novel heart valve bioprostheses, it is extremely important to predict leaflet failure and fatigue for 10–20 years, as the aortic valve opens and closes approximately 40 million times per year.

Multi-axial strain mapping to characterise structure and material properties of the human hip capsule. [PDF]
The biological composition and spatial arrangement of the tissue's constituents are directly related to its condition and function. Conventional inspection techniques such as optical microscopy and exogenous staining have limited ability to capture the ...
