“…Consequently, very few studies presented are of human tissues (Chawla et al, 2009;Balaraman et al, 2012). Much more of the muscle characterisation research published being obtained from testing on more accessible organic animal specimens such as bovine (McElhaney, 1966;Van Sligtenhorst et al, 2006) or porcine sources (Song et al, 2007;Van Loocke et al, 2006, 2009.

Impact injuries are commonplace in sport and often lead to performance detriment and debilitation. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is prescribed as a mandatory requirement in most sports where these impacts are likely to occur, though the methods of governance and evaluation criteria often do not accurately represent sports specific injury scenarios. One of the key shortcomings of such safety test standards is the human surrogate to which the PPE is affixed; this typically embodies unrepresentative geometries, masses, stiffness and levels of constraint when compared to humans.A key aspect of any human surrogate element is the simulant material used. Most previous sports specific surrogates tend to use off-the-shelf silicone blends to represent all the soft tissue structures within the human limb segment or organ; this approach potentially neglects important human response phenomena caused by the different tissue structures.This study presents an investigation into the use of bespoke additive cure Polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) silicone blends to match the reported mechanical properties of human relaxed and contracted skeletal muscle tissues. The silicone simulants have been tested in uniaxial compression through a range of strain rates and fit with a range of constitutive hyperelastic models (Mooney Rivlin, Ogden and Neo Hookean) and a viscoelastic Prony series.

Mechanical Characterization of Collagen Hydrogels by Quasistatic Uniaxial Tensile Experiments

Collagen serves as an essential structural material in the human body. Despite the complex mechanical conditions surrounding the collagen hydrogels, previous studies mostly focus on analyzing the mechanical behavior under dynamically‐varying compressive or shear loads, but the tensile properties at the quasi‐static time scale have been relatively less studied. This work aims to investigate the quasi‐static tensile behavior of reconstituted collagen hydrogels under uniaxial tensile stresses. The evolution of the collagen fiber network structures with straining was visually observed using the confocal microscope equipped with the tensile strain actuator. While the unfolding of the initially‐undulated fibers accommodates the early stage strains, the deformation mechanism continuously changes to the stretching of fibers through the network alignment to the tensile direction. This transition commences with the buckling of a fiber lying transverse to the loading direction, which otherwise locks the rotation of adjacent fibers.This article is protected by copyright.

Numerous challenges are faced in investigations aimed at developing a better understanding of the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The anatomy of the tongue and other upper-airway tissues, and the ability to model their behavior, are central to such investigations. We present details of the construction and development of a soft-tissue model of the human upper airway, with the ultimate goal of simulating obstructive sleep apnea. The steps taken to produce a representative anatomical geometry, of which the associated muscle histology is also captured, are documented. An overview of the mathematical models used to describe tissue behavior, both at a macro- and microscopic level, is given. A neurological model, which mimics the proprioceptive capabilities of the body, is described as it is applies to control of the active dynamics of the tongue. A simplified scenario, which allows for the manipulation of several environmental influences, is presented. It is demonstrated that the response of the genioglossus is qualitatively similar to that determined through experimental techniques. Furthermore, insights into the stress distribution developed within the tongue are discussed. It is shown that changes in almost any aspect of the breathing or physiological conditions invoke a significant change in the response of the airway dilators. The results of this study provide further evidence of the importance of modeling and simulation techniques as an aid in understanding the complex behavior of the human body.
