... have found human adipose tissue to be isotropic [ 14 , 31 , 32 , 35 , 37 , 41 , 42 , 52 , 53 ], one study has explored its anisotropy [ 34 ]. A recent study reported that the material properties of human adipose tissue were loading-direction-dependent but suggested modeling it as an isotropic material...

..., such as a prosthesis or an exoskeleton. Yet, the use of finite element modeling (FEM) in a framework compatible with clinical constraints is hindered by, among others, heavy and time-consuming assessments of material properties. Ultrasound (U.S.) imaging opens new and unique opportunities for the assessment of in vivo...

...Eric Wagnac; Pierre-Jean Arnoux; Anaïs Garo; Marwan El-Rich; Carl-Eric Aubin Under fast dynamic loading conditions (e.g. high-energy impact), the load rate dependency of the intervertebral disc (IVD) material properties may play a crucial role in the biomechanics of spinal trauma. However, most...
