On the AIC-based model reduction for the general Holzapfel–Ogden myocardial constitutive law (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, The Author(s). Constitutive laws that describe the mechanical responses of cardiac tissue under loading hold the key to accurately model the biomechanical behaviour of the heart. There have been ample choices of phenomenological constitutive... Read More about On the AIC-based model reduction for the general Holzapfel–Ogden myocardial constitutive law.

Mechanical characterisation of additively manufactured elastomeric structures for variable strain rate applications (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Additive manufacturing (AM) enables production of geometrically-complex elastomeric structures. The elastic recovery and strain-rate dependence of these materials means they are ideal for use in dynamic, repetitive mechanical loa...
