Multiscale modeling of fibrous tissues

Prof. Gal deBotton
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Ben-Gurion University, Israel

Modern analyses and modeling require highly accurate and efficient methods for characterizing the mechanical response of biological tissues. We make use of 3D finite-element micromechanics based unit-cells models for soft connective tissues. The models account for the histologies and the individual constituents of the tissues. Subsequently, the overall responses of the models are determined under different types of loadings. The predictions of the micromechanics based models, experimental measurements and available phenomenological model are compared and analyzed. Our findings suggest that to develop accurate models that account for the structure of the connective tissues under arbitrary loading conditions micromechanics motivated models should be employed.
