Given the ethical and logistical constraints of using human tissue, porcine urethras, which share anatomical and mechanical similarities with human urethras, are widely employed in preclinical studies. This study investigates the uniaxial mechanical characterization of porcine urethral tissue under controlled conditions. Fresh porcine urethral samples were subjected to uniaxial tensile testing along both the longitudinal and circumferential directions to characterize their anisotropic mechanical properties. Experimental results were compared with existing datasets to validate findings. Additionally, conventional hyperelastic models were assessed to fit experimental results, and a novel anisotropic constitutive model with physical parameters was developed. This fiber model, which incorporates fiber modulus, volume, and orientation, uses a single set of parameters to predict behavior in both directions. It demonstrated improved accuracy, reaching the performance of the Gasser-Ogden-Holzapfel (GOH) model, with root mean square errors (RMSEs) of 9.24% and 12.98% in the circumferential and longitudinal directions, respectively. In contrast, the Yeoh and Ogden models were unable to fit both directions using a single set of parameters, yielding RMSEs values exceeding 30%.

To capture this intricate scale coupling, we here propose a novel conceptual three-scale approach to the remodelling of cancellous bone. Therein, we combine a detailed bone cell population model at the cellular scale with an idealised trabecular truss network model with adaptive cross sections, that are driven by the cell population model, at the meso scale, which is eventually upscaled to a continuum bone density adaption model at the macro scale. Algorithmically, we solve the meso and macro problems concurrently within a finite element setting and update the cell activity in a staggered fashion.

Medical images can provide aortic geometry for FEM, but thickness information is lacked and the geometry is at loaded state. Therefore, in this study, an unloaded geometry with a non-uniform thickness distribution is reconstructed. Measurements of wall thickness are taken from resected tissue to accurately replicate the thickness distribution. Subsequently, a novel method, derived from the existing fixed-point iterative (FPI) approach, is developed and applied to estimate the unloaded aortic geometry. This new method involves updating the relaxation factor at each iteration to improve robustness by constraining it within a threshold and normalizing it. Compared to the traditional FPI method, this novel approach is better tailored to the aortic geometries examined in this study. The study compares stress results obtained from models with uniform and non-uniform aortic wall thickness, both with and without assuming unloaded conditions. Findings indicate that stress distribution of non-uniform geometry matches better to the measured damage extent. Stress distribution of unloaded geometry is similar to that of loaded geometry, while the use of unloaded geometry enhances the stress gradient. The stress analysis reveals variations across different directions and regions, with the second principal stress (SPS) magnitude that is more sensitive to the circumferential region than the first principal stress (FPS) and von Mises stress (VMS). There is an overlap area between the high SPS region and the most expanded region. The most dilated area usually matched with high SPS region for loaded and unloaded geometry or uniform and non-uniform geometry. Thus, although magnitude of SPS is smaller than that of FPS and of VMS, it is suggested to pay more attention to SPS in severity assessment of ATAA aneurysm.</p>","PeriodicalId":489,"journal":{"name":"Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology","volume":" ","pages":"999-1015"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143802173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By performing FSI analyses on 7 patient-specific ATAA models and 6 healthy aortas, the primary objective of the study was to compare hemodynamic and biomechanical features in ATAA versus healthy controls. A secondary objective was to examine the need for 4D flow MRI-derived IVP in FSI simulations by comparing results with those using two commonly adopted idealized IVPs: Flat-IVP and Para-IVP for selected cases. Our results show that, compared to the healthy aortas, the ATAA models exhibited highly disturbed blood flow in the ascending aorta. Consequently, maximum turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) at peak systole (155.0 ± 188.4 Pa) and maximum time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) (8.6 ± 6.5 Pa) were significantly higher in the ATAA cohort, compared to 0.6 ± 0.5 Pa and 2.8 ± 0.7 Pa in the healthy aortas. Peak wall stress was also nearly doubled in the ATAA group (414 ± 108 kPa vs. 215 ± 31 kPa). Additionally, comparisons of simulation results across models with different IVPs underscore the importance of prescribing 3D-IVP at the inlet, especially for ATAA cases. Using idealized IVPs in two selected ATAA models (P1 and P7) substantially reduced the maximum TKE from 571 Pa to 0.01 Pa (Flat-IVP) and 0.02 Pa (Para-IVP) in P1 and from 73 Pa to 0.01 Pa (Flat-IVP) and 0.08 Pa (Para-IVP) in P7, while the maximum TAWSS in the ascending aorta decreased from 9.6 Pa to 0.7 Pa (Flat-IVP) and 0.9 Pa (Para-IVP) in P1, and from 3.6 Pa to 1.2 Pa and 0.9 Pa, respectively, in P7. Moreover, idealized IVPs also caused the peak wall stress to reduce by up to 11.5% in P1 with severe aortic valve stenosis, and by up to 2% in P7 with mild aortic regurgitation.

Despite these advancements, little knowledge existed of how similar the strain responses were between surface- and voxel-based FE head models. This study uniquely addressed this gap by presenting three anatomically detailed models - a surface-based model with conforming meshes to capture the cortical folds-subarachnoid cerebrospinal fluid and brain-ventricle interfaces, and two voxel-based models (with and without mesh smoothing) - derived from the same imaging dataset. All numerical settings in the three models were exactly the same, except for the meshes. These three models were employed to simulate head impacts. The results showed that, when calculating commonly used injury metrics, including the percentile strains below the maximum (e.g., 99 percentile strain) and the volume of brain element with the strain over certain thresholds, the responses of the three models were virtually identical. Different strain patterns existed between the surface- and the voxel-based models at the interfacial boundary (e.g., sulci and gyri in the cortex, regions adjacent to the falx and tentorium) with strain differences exceeding 0.1, but remarkable similarities were noted at the non-interfacial region. The mesh smoothing procedure marginally reduced the strain discrepancies between the voxel- and surface-based model.
