Abstract:The remarkable macro-mechanics of many soft tissues and fluid-saturated, porous engineered materials derive from the complex micro-mechanics of their constituents interacting. To facilitate mechanistic understanding and improved analyses (e.g. of experimental results) of the multi-scale mechanics of such materials we aimed to establish a computational framework specific to heterogeneous, fluid-saturated, soft tissues and engineered materials. The FE2 method is a general approach in finite elements (FEs) to des… Show more
