Adipose Tissue

Period

1 January 2014–31 December 2019

Project manager

Håkan Johansson

The aim of the project is to develop material models for adipose tissue, calibrate them against experimental data, and to analyze how spread in experimental data used to calibrate model carries over to accuracy in HBM simulations using the calibrated model.

Modeling the mechanical behavior of adipose tissue

In this study a nonlinear viscoelastic model for adipose tissue based on the Reese-Govindjee formulation is presented. The model is formulated in a large strain framework and is applied for 3D finite element simulation of rheometer experiment.
