Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling the propagation of arterial dissection

T. Christian Gasser, +1 more
- 01 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine the cohesive crack concept with the partition of unity finite element method, where nodal degrees of freedom adjacent to the discontinuity are enhanced, and derive a traction separation law appropriate for the description of the mechanical properties of medial dissection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical properties of the human uterine cervix: an in vivo study.

Edoardo Mazza, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2006 - 
TL;DR: A comparison of in vivo and ex vivo data from the same organ has shown that the ex vivo mechanical response of the uterine cervix tissue does not differ considerably from that observed in vivo, and some differences can be identified in tissue pre-conditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of myocardial fiber/sheet orientations on left ventricular mechanical contraction:

Thomas Eriksson, +5 more
- 30 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the material properties of the myocardium are characterized as orthotropic, that is, there are three mutually orthogonal axes along which both electrical and mechanical parame...
Journal ArticleDOI

3D constitutive modeling of the biaxial mechanical response of intact and layer-dissected human carotid arteries.

Gerhard Sommer, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: The material parameters and the 3D constitutive model serve as a foundation for finite element simulations, and hence the analysis of more complex patient-specific boundary-value problems in the human carotid physiology and pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglia mechanics: immune activation alters traction forces and durotaxis.

Lars Bollmann, +10 more
- 23 Sep 2015 - 
TL;DR: A mathematical model connecting traction forces with the durotactic behavior of migrating microglial cells is developed, demonstrating that microglia are susceptible to mechanical signals, which could be important during central nervous system development and pathologies.
