..., although a recirculation zone was formed in the aneurysm, in which a vortex could be observed, that elongated and remained attached to the wall throughout the systolic portion of the cardiac cycle. To link the hemodynamics with aneurysm progression, the remodeling that occurred between week one and week...

... experimental force-elongation curves of soft tissues, in particular when modeled as lumped elements. Boundary conditions are introduced to account for the positive definiteness and the particular curvature of the experimental curve to be fitted. The constrained least-square routine minimizes user intervention...

... in ACL forces under in vivo loading conditions using a noninvasive technique. A combination of magnetic resonance and dual fluoroscopic imaging system was used to determine ACL in vivo elongation during controlled weightbearing at discrete flexion angles, and a robotic testing system was utilized...

... the degradation of native rat tail tendon fibers by collagenase after the fibers were mechanically elongated to strains of ε = 1 – 10 % . After the fibers were elongated and the stress was allowed to relax, the fiber was immersed in Clostridium histolyticum collagenase and the decrease in stress ( σ...

... performed maximal voluntary isometric knee extensions (MVC) on a dynamometer before and after (a) a sustained isometric contraction at 25% MVC and (b) isokinetic contractions at 50% isokinetic MVC, both until task failure. The elongation of the VL tendon and aponeurosis was examined using ultrasonography...

... elongation. Fiber recruitment is represented statistically according to a Weibull probability density function (PDF). The Weibull PDF location parameter in this formulation corresponds to the stretch at which the first fibers begin to bear load and provides a convenient method of determining reference length...

... consecutive stretch cycles to the same strain level, accompanied by elongation of the tendon’s reference length. They intensified with increased strain level, and were reduced or became negligible as the strain decreased. The significance of intrinsic response mechanisms was studied via a structural model...

... completely before 3 percent axial strain was reached. Average crimp period increased as strain increased, but both elongation and shortening occurred within single crimp periods during the application of increasing strain to the fascicle. Kastelic , J. , Galeski , A. , and Baer , E. , 1978...
