The anisotropic mechanical behaviour of passive skeletal muscle tissue subjected to large tensile strain
SIMMS, CIARAN; TAKAZA, MICHAEL (2013)The passive mechanical properties of muscle tissue are important for many biomechanics applications. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the three-dimensional tensile response of passive skeletal ... -
Digital image correlation and finite element modelling as a method to determine mechanical properties of human soft tissue in vivo.
SIMMS, CIARAN; MOERMAN, KEVIN MATTHEUS (2009)The mechanical properties of human soft tissue are crucial for impact biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering and surgical simulation. Validation of these constitutive models using human data remains challenging and often ... -
The fracture toughness of soft tissues
TAYLOR, DAVID; SIMMS, CIARAN; O'REILLY, PETER (2012)Fracture toughness is important for any material, but to date there have been few investigations of this mechanical property in soft mammalian tissues. This paper presents new data on porcine muscle tissue and a detailed ... -
Imaging arterial fibres using diffusion tensor imaging - feasibility study & preliminary results
SIMMS, CIARAN; LALLY, CAITRIONA (2010)MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to analyze the fibrous structure of aortic tissue. A fresh porcine aorta was imaged at 7T using a spin echo sequence with the following parameters: matrix 128 ? 128 pixel; slice ... -

Viscoelastic properties of passive skeletal muscle in compression: cyclic behaviour
SIMMS, CIARAN; LYONS, CHRISTOPHER (2009)The compressive properties of skeletal muscle are important in impact biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering and surgical simulation. However, the mechanical behaviour of muscle tissue in compression remains poorly ...
