Aging Effects on Arterial Mechanics and Matrix Remodeling
… of cells and extracellular matrix proteins. Passive arterial mechanical behavior is determined by the composition of extracellular matrix proteins, in particular elastin and collagen. Elastin provides reversible elasticity to the large elastic arteries during cyclic loading and dampens the …

Biomechanical characterization and computational modeling of the anterior eye
… while the elastic forces are the result of passive mechanical behavior of the iris. Unlike the other two forces that are generated by the iris, the hydrodynamic forces are caused by the continuous flow of the aqueous humor (AH) in the anterior eye. An accurate and predictive computational …

Regional Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Ovine Heart Chambers
<p>Mechanical properties of cardiac tissue play an important role in the normal heart function. As a baseline for understanding of physiology and pathophysiology of the heart, and for development and validation of new therapies, it is crucial to first understand the mechanical behavior of the …
