Description

Living biological tissues are complex structures that have the capacity of evolving in response to external loads and environmental stimuli. The adequate model-ling of soft biological tissue behaviour is a key issue in successfully reproducing biomechanical problems through computational analysis.
This study presents a general constitutive formulation capable of representing the behaviour of these tissues through finite element simulation. It is based on phenomenological models that, used in combination with the generalized mixing theory, can numerically reproduce a wide range of material behaviours.
