Anisotropic effects of the levator ani muscle during childbirth
Pelvic floor dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapse have been associated with damage to the levator ani (LA) muscle, but the exact mechanisms linking them remain unknown. It has been postulated that factors suc...

Estimating material parameters of a structurally based constitutive relation for skin mechanics
This paper presents a structurally based modeling framework to characterize the structure–function relation in skin tissues, based upon biaxial tensile experiments performed in vitro on porcine skin. Equi-axia...

Model-based identification of motion sensor placement for tracking retraction and elongation of the tongue
Electromagnetic articulography (EMA) is designed to track facial and tongue movements. In practice, the EMA sensors for tracking the movement of the tongue’s surface are placed heuristically. No recommendation...

Surface deformation tracking and modelling of soft materials
Many computer vision algorithms have been presented to track surface deformations, but few have provided a direct comparison of measurements with other stereoscopic approaches and physics-based models. We have...
