Abstract :
Mechanical testing of soft biological tissues has generally been limited to 1D and 2D because of difficulties establishing uniform and controllable 3D deformation. To begin to address this problem, this study presents 3D computational models being developed for a novel triaxial experiment. New continuum-based material models for soft tissue have been developed, and implemented in a new finite element software package.
