Soft tissue biomechanics: In vitro, in vivo and silico trials for trauma prevention and repair KU Leuven
The soft tissues in our body are continuously engaged in mechanical interaction, with themselves but also with external devices. These devices may serve to protect (e.g. a helmet), repair (e.g. surgical instruments) or replace (e.g. prostheses) our native tissues. Profound knowledge about the mechanical behavior of these tissues and their interactions is essential to optimize the design of these external devices and treatments, and to ...
