A Gaussian process approach for rapid evaluation of skin tension
Matt Nagle, Hannah Conroy Broderick, Christelle Vedel +3
Skin tension plays a pivotal role in clinical settings, it affects scarring, wound healing and skin necrosis. Despite its importance, there is no widely accepted method for assessi…
Poynting effect of brain matter in torsion
Valentina Balbi, Antonia Trotta, Michel Destrade +1
We investigate experimentally and model theoretically the mechanical behaviour of brain matter in torsion. Using a strain-controlled rheometer we perform torsion tests on fresh por…
Characterising the Anisotropic Mechanical Properties of Excised Human Skin
Aisling Ni Annaidh, Karine Bruyere, Michel Destrade +2
The mechanical properties of skin are important for a number of applications including surgery, dermatology, impact biomechanics and forensic science. In this study we have investi…
Automated Estimation of Collagen Fibre Dispersion in the Dermis and its Contribution to the Anisotropic Behaviour of Skin
Aisling Ní Annaidh, Karine Bruyère, Michel Destrade +4
Collagen fibres play an important role in the mechanical behaviour of many soft tissues. Modelling of such tissues now often incorporates a collagen fibre distribution. However, th…
