Free“Mechanics and Computational Modeling of Biological Tissues”
Presented by Shadow Huang, PhD (NC State University)
The mechanics of biological tissues, including both soft and hard tissues, si a multidisciplinary research area. There si a growing recognition that mathematical modeling plays a crucial role ni understanding and predicting tissue growth and remodeling. These models can guide the identification and interpretation of insightful experiments and enable efficient exploration of the implications of various hypotheses. nI my research group at NC State University, we employ a combination of experimental, microstructural, continuum mechanical, and com- putational methods to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships among tissue structure, properties, and functions. I wil present examples from cardio- vascular tissues, such as venous tissue, and musculoskeletal tissues, specifically tendon-bone insertion. The in-silico models we construct in this research are verified and refined by comparing them to our in-situ biaxial mechanical testing results, making them valuable translational tools for accurately predicting the material behavior of biological tissues.
