Experimental and Computational Modelling of Tissue Rheology and Mechanics in Morphogenesis
In this thesis, we report two tissue models designed to investigate how key cellular mechanical parameters interact with tissue material properties and active cell behaviour to drive tissue deformation in the context of biological development. Firstly, an experimental, three-dimensional tissue …

Methods to measure and relate the viscoelastic properties of brain tissue
Measurement of brain tissue elastic and viscoelastic properties is of interest for modeling traumatic brain injury, understanding and creating new biomarkers for brain diseases, improving neurosurgery procedures and development of tissue surrogate materials for evaluating protective strategies …

Biomechanics of the cerebrum at finite strain : a tissue and cell level study/
… of the cerebral cortex at the macroscopic tissue level and at the microscopic cell level. Unconfined uniaxial compression tests were conducted in vitro on cortical samples of porcine brains. The tests consisted of load-unload and relaxation segments to 50% nominal deformation at 0.01 to 10 …

On the Rheology of Soft Cellular Materials, An Experimental Investigation of the Microstructure and Rheology of a Novel Tissue-Mimic Material
… key determinants of the mechanical properties of tissues, this thesis is a study of the rheology of a synthetic tissue-mimic material made from functionalised giant unilamellar lipid vesicles, in which inter-particle adhesion and membrane tension can be varied experimentally by controlling the …
