Journal ArticleDOI

Entropy elasticity of isotropic rubber-like solids at finite strains

TL;DR: In this article, a macroscopic continuum formulation and a numerical analysis of constitutive equations describing the thermoelastic behavior of amorphous cross-linked polymers above the glass transition temperature in which a specimen typically "snap-back" with rubbery characteristics are presented.
Book ChapterDOI

Collagen in Arterial Walls: Biomechanical Aspects

TL;DR: This chapter is written with an emphasis on the biomechanical role of collagen in normal and diseased arterial walls, its structural quantification and its consideration in material models including phenomena such as growth and remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

3D Crack propagation in unreinforced concrete. A two-step algorithm for tracking 3D crack paths

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a cohesive fracture process zone, which is characterized by a transversely isotropic traction-separation law and combine the cohesive crack concept with the partition of unity finite element method, where the finite element space is enhanced by the Heaviside function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rheological characterization of human brain tissue.

TL;DR: This manuscript characterize the rheology of human brain tissue through a family of finite viscoelastic Ogdentype models and identify their parameters for multiple loading modes in four different regions of the brain, and identifies a single parameter set for shear, compression, tension, shear relaxation, and compression relaxation loading.
