Guided waves in pre-stressed hyperelastic plates and tubes: Application to the ultrasound elastography of thin-walled soft materials
(Elsevier, 2017-02-17)In vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of thin-walled soft tissues (e.g., mitral valve, artery and bladder) and in situ mechanical characterization of thin-walled artificial soft biomaterials in service are of ... -
Multi-sector approximation method for arteries: the residual stresses of circumferential rings with non-trivial openings
(The Royal Society, 2019-07-24)The opening angle method is a popular choice in biomechanics to estimate residual stresses in arteries. Experimentally, it means that an artery is cut into rings; then the rings are cut axially or radially allowing them ... -
Non-invasive evaluation of skin tension lines with elastic waves
(Wiley, 2017-11-20)Background: Since their discovery by Karl Langer in the 19th Century, Skin Tension Lines (STLs) have been used by surgeons to decide the location and orientation of an incision. Although these lines are patient-specific, ... -
Tension lines of the skin
(Springer, Cham, 2019-05-29)Skin tension lines are natural lines of tension that occur within the skin as a result of growth and remodeling mechanisms. Researchers have been aware of their existence and their surgical implications for over 150 years. ...
