Region- and layer-specific investigations of the human menisci using SHG imaging and biaxial testing [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 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

Viscoelastic Properties of Porcine Pericardium Under Biaxial Tensile Creep and Stress Relaxation: Application for Novel Aortic Valve Bioprosthesis Design [PDF]
BioengineeringTo 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]
PLoS ONEThe 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 ...

Development of biaxial tensile testing for porous polymer membranes
Polymer Testing, 2022 Porous polymer membranes are typically polymeric materials that consist of many pores and complex network structures. As a result of these features, the membranes sometimes undergo anisotropic elastoplastic deformation.
