Planar Biaxial Testing of Soft Biological Tissues KU Leuven
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the developed countries. Since mechanics take a part in the onset, progression and treatment of these diseases, a good understanding of the biomechanical behavior of cardiovascular tissue can help to reduce the mortality associated with these diseases. To this end, mechanical testing of arterial tissue can provide a valuable insight. Moreover, the result of a subsequent parameter ...
