Investigating Passive Muscle Mechanics With Biaxial Stretch

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
IntroductionThe passive stiffness of skeletal muscle can drastically affect muscle function in vivo, such as the case for fibrotic tissue or patients with cerebral palsy.

High Expansion Auxetic Skin Graft Simulants for Severe Burn Injury Mitigation

open access: yesEuropean Burn Journal, 2023
Burn injuries are commonly treated with split-thickness skin grafting. However, low expansions offered by spilt-thickness skin grafting inhibit the treatment of large and severe burn injuries when limited donor skin is available. To overcome this gap, in

Biaxial compression mechanical properties of HTPB propellant under dynamic loading

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2022
To study the biaxial compression mechanical properties of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) solid propellants under dynamic loading, biaxial compression tests were carried out at room temperature (25 °C) with the strain rate ranging from 1 to 85 s−

Heterogeneity of Ex Vivo and In Vivo Properties along the Length of the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The current clinical guidelines for the management of aortic abdominal aneurysms (AAAs) overlook the structural and mechanical heterogeneity of the aortic tissue and its role in the regional weakening that drives disease progression.

Mechanical characterization of nanostructured thin films at different scales

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2010
The mechanical behaviour of multilayered W/Cu thin films on polyimide substrate has been investigated at different scales and using complementary X-ray techniques and compared to finite element analysis. Mechanical testing has been carried out using a

BIAXIAL TESTING OF FIBRE REINFORCED COMPOSITES

open access: yes, 2007
To study the behaviour of fibre reinforced composite laminates under in-plane complex stress states a biaxial loading frame has been developed. Using four independent servo-hydraulic actuators a cruciform type specimen is biaxially loaded in its plane.
