Anisotropy of Passive and Active Rat Vagina under Biaxial Loading
… behavior of the vagina, we performed planar biaxial tests of vaginal specimens in both the passive (relaxed) and active (contracted) states. Specimens were isolated from virgin, female Long-Evans rats (n=16) and simultaneously stretched along the longitudinal direction (LD) and …

Functional and Morphological Characteristics of Smooth Muscle in the Rat Vagina
… specimens were subjected to isometric planar biaxial tests, during which they were induced to contract via KCl at four applied equi-biaxial stretches. The digital image correlation method was used to perform full-field strain analysis during each contraction. The vagina was found to have …

Development of a Biaxial Testing System for Research of Soft Tissue Biomechanics using Laboratory Models
… coronary artery. The first uniaxial elastomer tests were performed using Sylgard 184, where we manipulated the curing temperature, mix ratio of elastomer and cross linker, and addition of curing reagents (n=10 / group) to adjust its tensile strength. However, the lowest ultimate stress that …

Finite element modelling the forming of components for portable electronic devices
… range of 130–155 ⁰C. Extensive in-plane biaxial testing used to uncover the specific contributions of external variables on the observed stress-strain behaviour highlighted the anisotropic non-linear viscoelastic behaviour of the films – with strong dependence of the yield and strain …

Mechanical Characterization of Swine Uterosacral and Cardinal Ligaments
… microscopy and quasi-static uniaxial tensile tests. Our results suggest that the histological and uniaxial tensile properties of the swine CL and USL are very similar to those in humans. The swine is found to be a suitable animal model for studying the mechanical properties of these ligaments. …

Μελέτη διάδοσης τασικών κυμάτων σε πολύστρωτες διατάξεις ινωδών συνθέτων υλικών. Αποτίμηση δομικής ακεραιότητας κατασκευαστικών στοιχείων
Κίνητρο της παρούσας διατριβής αποτέλεσε η αποτίμηση της δομικής ακεραιότητας κελυφοειδών κατασκευών από σύνθετα υλικά που παρουσιάζουν ανοχή στη βλάβη, με τη χρήση ακουστικών τεχνικών μη καταστροφικού ελέγχου. Στόχος ήταν η πειραματική και θεωρητική μελέτη επίδρασης της αστοχίας, που αναπτύσσεται …
