Analysis demonstrates the material behavior of ligaments in tensile stress, suggesting accurate models are crucial for applications.
Ligaments and tendons experience complex loadings in vivo. Their geometry is inherently three-dimensional. To describe the deformations and stresses in these tissues, numerical methods are required. This necessitates the accurate description of their constitutive (stress-strain) behavior. The objective of this research was assess the ability of a particular transversely isotropic constitutive model to describe and predict the material behavior of a model tissue, human fascia lata.
