Application of micro-computer tomography and inverse finite element analysis for characterizing the visco-hyperelastic response of bulk liver tissue using indentation

Abstract In-vitro mechanical indentation experimentation is performed on bulk liver tissue of lamb to characterize its nonlinear material behaviour.The material response is characterized by a visco-hyperelastic material model by the use of 2-dimensional inverse finite element (FE) analysis.The time-dependent behaviour is characterized by the viscoe
