...Ondřej Lisický; Anna Hrubanová; Jiří Burša The paper aims at evaluation of mechanical tests of soft tissues and creation of their representative stress–strain responses and respective constitutive models. Interpretation of sets of experimental results depends highly on the approach to the data...

...Hongqiang Guo; Robert L. Spilker A study of biphasic soft tissues contact is fundamental to understanding the biomechanical behavior of human diarthrodial joints. To date, biphasic-biphasic contact has been developed for idealized geometries and not been accessible for more general geometries...

...F. Martel; M. Denninger; E. Langelier; M-C. Turcotte; D. Rancourt Numerical simulation of soft tissue mechanical properties is a critical step in developing valuable biomechanical models of live organisms. A cubic Hermitian spline optimization routine is proposed in this paper to model nonlinear...
