Stress-dependent finite growth in soft elastic tissues
TLDR
A general continuum formulation for finite volumetric growth in soft elastic tissues is proposed and it is shown that transmurally uniform pure circumferential growth, which may be similar to eccentric ventricular hypertrophy, changes the state of residual stress in the heart wall.About:

A new constitutive framework for arterial wall mechanics and a comparative study of material models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a constitutive law for the description of the (passive) mechanical response of arterial tissue, where the artery is modeled as a thick-walled nonlinearly elastic circular cylindrical tube consisting of two layers corresponding to the media and adventitia.

Vascular Extracellular Matrix and Arterial Mechanics
TL;DR: By correlating vessel mechanics with physiological blood pressure across animal species and in mice with altered vessel compliance, it is shown that cardiac and vascular development are physiologically coupled, and there is evidence for a universal elastic modulus that controls the parameters of ECM deposition in vessel wall development.

A history of the study of solid tumour growth: the contribution of mathematical modelling.
Robyn P. Araujo,Donald McElwain +1 more
TL;DR: This short treatise presents a concise history of the study of solid tumour growth, illustrating the development of mathematical approaches from the early decades of the twentieth century to the present time, showing the crucial relationship between experimental and theoretical approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
A constrained mixture model for growth and remodeling of soft tissues
TL;DR: It was thought that the most important characteristics of soft tissues were their complex mechanical properties: they often exhibit nonlinear, anisotropic, nearly incoherent, and often incoherent properties as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of morphological instabilities and surface wrinkling in soft materials: a review
TL;DR: Some representative theoretical and numerical approaches aimed at modelling the onset of instabilities as well as the postbuckling evolution involving multiple bifurcations and symmetry breakings are discussed along with the main characteristics and some possible applications of this rich phenomenon.

The compressive behavior of bone as a two-phase porous structure.
Dennis R. Carter,Wilson C. Hayes +1 more
TL;DR: These power relationships, which were shown to hold for all bone in the skeleton, allow meaningful predictions of bone tissue strength and stiffness based on in vivo density measurements.

An introduction to continuum mechanics
Morton E. Gurtin,W. J. Drugan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the NavierStokes Equations are used to define linear elasticity for tensor analysis, and the invariance of material response is established. But the analysis is restricted to finite elasticity and cannot be extended to infinite elasticity.

Molecular characterization of the stretch-induced adaptation of cultured cardiac cells. An in vitro model of load-induced cardiac hypertrophy.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the phenotype of stretched cardiocytes in this in vitro model closely mimics that of hemodynamic load-induced hypertrophy in vivo, and seems to be a suitable system with which to dissect the molecular mechanisms of load- inducedhypertrophy of cardiac muscle.
