This paper tests an inflatable penile prosthesis in cadaveric tissue and pairs it with a computational model to study mechanical interactions and guide surgical planning.

This paper introduces a framework combining finite element analysis and design of experiments to optimise bioinspired polymer heart valves for improved durability and performance.

This study validates benchtop and finite element models of penile tissue inflation using human tissue tests to improve inflatable penile prosthesis design and surgical outcomes.

This study links neovascularisation in atherosclerotic plaques to lower ultimate tensile strain, suggesting mechanical instability and increased rupture risk.

This paper develops an inverse finite element framework combining ultrasound imaging and inflation testing to characterize mechanical properties of PVA artery phantoms for atherosclerosis research.

This study uses ex vivo DTI to link microstructural features of atherosclerotic plaques with mechanical properties, showing that uniform microstructures are more prone to rupture.

This paper demonstrates that phosphotungstic acid (PTA) binds preferentially to collagen-rich regions in porcine carotid arteries and human atherosclerotic plaques, enabling non-destructive collagen quantification via 3D micro-CT.

This study examines how excluding zero-pressure configuration and residual stress affects material parameter estimation and stress distribution in carotid bifurcation models derived from in-vivo MRI data.

This study uses QSM to show that magnetic susceptibility of carotid arteries is sensitive to microstructural changes, particularly collagen loss, and finds similar susceptibility between human and porcine arteries.

This study investigates how collagen fibre orientation affects the mechanical properties of human carotid plaque caps and their risk of rupture.

This study examines how microstructural changes in arterial tissue affect diffusion tensor imaging metrics, finding that cell content significantly influences anisotropy and tractography.
