  • Title: In vitro technique in estimation of passive mechanical properties of bovine heart part II. Constitutive relation and finite element analysis.
    Author: Ghaemi H, Behdinan K, Spence AD.
    Journal: Med Eng Phys; 2009 Jan; 31(1):83-91. PubMed ID: 18539073.
    Abstract:
    A pseudo-elastic constitutive equation describing the mechanical properties of bovine myocardium was developed. The myocardium was modeled as a hyperelastic transversely isotropic material with a minimum viscoelastic loses. The material parameters for the proposed constitutive equations were determined using GA regression technique. In this work, the development of a constitutive equation based on principal stretch ratios is explained. The predictive capability of proposed model was compared against the experimental data obtained from part one. Finally, the constitutive equations were implemented into a commercial finite element program and the results of the mathematical model and FEM were compared with the experimental data.
