Development of Soft Composite Based Anisotropic Synthetic Skin for Biomechanical Testing
Fibers, 2023 Human skin exhibits highly varying mechanical properties, thickness, hardness, and anisotropy by virtue of changing fiber distributions and orientations, across different body locations.

Critical points and symmetries of a free energy function for biaxial nematic liquid crystals [PDF]
, 2015 We describe a general mean field model for the free energy function for a homogeneous medium of mutually interacting molecules, based on the formalism for a biaxial nematic liquid crystal set out by Katriel et al (1986) in an influential paper in Liquid ...

Biaxial mechanical data of porcine atrioventricular valve leaflets
Data in Brief, 2018 This dataset contains the anisotropic tissue responses of porcine atrioventricular valve leaflets to force-controlled biaxial mechanical testing. The set includes the first Piola-Kirchhoff Stress and the specimen stretches (λ) in both circumferential and

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.

High Expansion Auxetic Skin Graft Simulants for Severe Burn Injury Mitigation
European 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
AIP 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
Applied 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
EPJ 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
