A stochastic-structurally based three dimensional finite-strain damage model for fibrous soft tissue
TL;DR: In this paper, a fully three dimensional finite-strain damage model for fibrous soft tissue is developed, where the model assumes uncoupled contributions for the matrix and collagen fibers, and uncouple bulk and deviatoric response over any range of deformations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A constitutive model for fibrous tissues considering collagen fiber crimp
Fernando Cacho,Fernando Cacho,Pierre Elbischger,Jose F. Rodriguez,Manuel Doblaré,Gerhard Holzapfel,Gerhard Holzapfel +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the fiber crimp model can reproduce several of the expected characteristics of fibrous tissues and quantify the effect of parameter changes on the mechanical response.
Journal ArticleDOI
A procedure to simulate coronary artery bypass graft surgery
TL;DR: A computational methodology for the simulation of traditional CABG surgery is proposed, and the effect of two clinically relevant parameters on the artery and graft responses, i.e., incision length and insertion angle for a given graft diameter are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo characterization of the mechanics of human uterine cervices
Margit Bauer,Edoardo Mazza,Alessandro Nava,Willibald Zeck,Martina Eder,Michael Bajka,Fernando Cacho,Uwe Lang,Gerhard Holzapfel,Gerhard Holzapfel +9 more
TL;DR: The first clinical application of an aspiration device is shown, which allows in vivo testing of the biomechanical properties of the cervix with the aim to establish the physiological biomechanicals changes throughout gestation and to detect pregnant women at risk for CI.
